I had phonegap 1.0.0 installed. I ran uninstaller provided in
PhoneGap-1.0.0.pkg before installing 1.4.1 Please help, thanks.

Hi atl,

I was able to resolve this by running the Installer from command line:

sudo Installer -pkg /Volumes/PhoneGap-1.4.1/PhoneGap-1.4.1.pkg -
target /

I wrote an article on the problem here:
http://boredwookie.net/index.php/blog/installation-failed-message-when-installing-phonegap-1-4-1-for-i/

Hope that works for you like it worked for me...

Running it as su will generally cause problems later, since
PhoneGap/Cordova only needs the current user's permissions to install.
This is what is going on, usually it is other third-party libraries
running as root when they don't need to:

In my case I haven't noticed any problems after running the installer
using sudo. The files get installed correctly and I can run Xcode as
my regular user. I can build and deploy apps without difficulty.

This appears to be the only way to work around the issue as the
installer package for PhoneGap 1.4.1 doesn't ask for elevated
permissions to install (hence the failure).

If you know of any specific issues that arise after installing with
su / sudo, please let me know. I'd love to know (so I don't rat-hole
myself troubleshooting). :)

Thanks

Nevermind, I get what you're saying (Should have read your link
first).

Thanks for the helpful link- I had previously installed Cocos2d, so it
directly applied to my scenario.
