It's best to install this using MacPorts, as the old pre-compiled binaries are PPC only. Also, there is a much better trash command to be found here: http://hasseg.org/trash If you installed osxutils with MacPorts, rename that trash command so that it doesn't get executed: sudo mv /opt/local/bin/trash /opt/local/bin/trash-disabled
