PackageMaker and /usr/lib stuff

[Cor Jansen]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a package with PackageMaker that should store some
files in /Applications and a library in /usr/lib.
The files correctly goes into /Applications, but nothing goes into /usr/lib.

I can not find out what is wrong. I hope someone can help me out.

Cor.

Does the installer require authentication?

A .pkg only store in a single directory tree. So if it stores in
/Applications it cannot store in /usr/lib. To do that you will have to use
a .mpkg which contains 2 subpackages, one for each tree.
