[webkit-dev] How do I verify if webkit build is installed properly?

[Rachael Stanton]

Hi Sridhar, welcome to the mac! :D

Just so you know, the webkit nightlys will not overwrite the webkit  
contained in your OS X installation. What you download from  
nightly.webkit.org is a new version of the framework that, when  
launched, runs the Safari on your system, but with the newer version  
of webkit. There's no installation, per-say, and it's not replacing  
anything. This allows you to run a normal Safari instance as well as  
one with an updated webkit version.

So the Safari in your /Applications folder with the silver-bordered  
compass icon will be running your normal webkit from your system  
frameworks, while the WebKit application on your desktop with the  
gold-bordered compass icon will be running revision 21612 from the  
webkit repository.

I hope that helps clear up any confusion!
