What warning messages?

I should try the installation on a Mac OS X system myself but the last
time I tried to install the Xcode compilers I foolishly used a DSL
connection so the download took 2 hours.  When I tried to open up the
disk image I had downloaded, I found it was corrupt.  Maybe if I
remember to write a DVD of the image when I am at the office I can
install it.
