files installed in /usr/local etc are as far as I know being
installed either as root or wheel (one of the two). I took
great care in ensuring that when I was first making the
installer definition files.
Earlier versions (perhaps the 10.2 version you are using?)
had some issues relating to this, but I'm positive I fixed
it very quickly. I will need to check. Since we are in 5.08
and this has not been a problem before I assumed I got it
right.

Maybe it works fine on 10.4.  I recently tried installing the
Csound5.07-OSX10.4-PPC.tar.gz package on my 10.2 machine in the course of
trying to help someone on the cSounds.com forums who was having trouble with
the installer.  As far as I could tell, all files installed fine but not
with owner "root".  (The executables would not run of course, but I expected
that).  

I did notice the same owner issue with the Csound 5.01 installer for 10.2.
Perhaps it is an issue with the 10.2 Installer.app program.

P.S.  I have been a little surprised that no one has complained about the
lack of new Csound packages for 10.2 and 10.3 -- perhaps I am the only
Csound user who has not upgraded?  Anyways, I do hope to create an updated
10.2 package (that will run on 10.3 too) when I have a chance.  If someone
shouts about wanting it, it may get done sooner than later ;)

Just for reporting:
I'm running Csound version 5.07 (float samples) Oct  2 2007
.dmg Installed on an Intel OSX under 10.4.11.

The /usr/local/csound5 permissions are
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  admin    102 11 Nov 06:26 Csound 5.app/

and the /Application/csound permissions are
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel      628 29 Dec 07:08 INSTALL*

I'm now running OSX 10.5 under these installs w. no (csound) problems.
Install of 10.5.1 updater was a problem, resulting in me having to  
reinstall 10.5.0.
Colleagues in the Apple business report many similar.
I've been waiting for proper backup facilities b4 trying OSX 10.4.2  
which is out.
Will try soon, as I just purchased my first Tb drive.
And to think we used to load music5 off punch cards!
