Installing on OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 fails?

[amfischer]

I'm trying to install Cobra under 10.6.8, and I get the following error when running sudo bin/install-from-sources (I get the same if I add the which dmcs thing at the end):

I've tried to find info elsewhere in the forum, but nothing jumped out. Oh—the sources I used to compile are whatever came off SVN today.

I've confirmed the problem. I'll post again when it's fixed.
