Summary0010938: Mac: dmg installer does not deal with previous install of cmake for symlinks in /usr/bin
Descriptioncmake 2.8.2 but any older cmake does the same:

The dmg installer for Mac when it comes to last install stage "create symlinks in /usr/bin" does not do well with previous installation of cmake:

If the symlinks already exists, it does not force the symlinks to the new cmake version, it just fails.

I think cmake should ask the user if she wants to erase the symlinks from another cmake installation and process further with the new cmake installation.


Right now, you have to let cmake installation fails and create the symlinks manually...

I view this as related to 0011693. If the CMake.app did not change names every release, you wouldn't need to put symlinks in /usr, you could just add /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin to your PATH.
