It looks like the distribution method has changed Lee.

Have you downloaded the Mac OS application library? (The link is on the \"Client Download\" page).





Our posts crossed in the mail :-)

Thanks

Thyme,

\"So I guess in the interim CP has made a change, but not for the better :-) \"

Take two Thyme. I\'m the dummy and I apologize CP :-)
I searched CPs site again, and this time I found where they had a special \"library\" download for Mac users. I downloaded and installed it and the noted dynamic libraries are now where the reference you gave me said to put them. So for the next person that asks the question, tell them to look in the CP FAQs where the answer is there for anyone that is not blind to find :-)

The reason I looked back again, though, is because I seem to remember reading somewhere that I shouldn\'t use the same account on two different types of computers (e.g. Mac and PC). I\'ll have to search some more to see if I can find what I think I remember.

Thanks again,
Lee C

Your failed results are generating the error message \"dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/ibmcmp/lib/libxlsmp.A.dylib\". The solution to this problem is detailed here, and you should follow that advice before restarting BOINC.


Thyme,

First, thanks for the combined stats answer. Other than CP, I\'m quite happy with the way everything else is running on my Mac. So I guess I\'ll just have a go at resetting the lonely PC (even though CP is running there).

Your second point, though, about CP seems to be outdated if I didn\'t misread it. After reading your post I dug into Console and found the error message you note and I already have a \"/opt\" directory in which I created a directory named \"ibmcmp\" and in turn \"lib\" - so far so good. However, when I dig out \"hadsm3se_4.13_powerpc-apple-darwin.zip\" (no 4.12 there) it does not contain the dynamic libs listed in your reference. All it contains are \"gfx.sh,\" \"globe.rgb,\" \"hadsm3_gfx_4.13_powerpc-apple-darwin\" and \"hadsm3se_4.13_powerpc-apple-darwin\"
In fact, no where on my Mac (package, archive, hidden or otherwise) are there any files named \"libxlsmp.A.dylib\" \"libxlfmath.A.dylib\" and \"libxlf90.A.dylib\"
I also checked the CP site for a download of the files without success. I don\'t mind a little \"fix-it\" for them, but I can\'t manufacture the dynamic libraries out of thin air.

So I guess in the interim CP has made a change, but not for the better :-)

Thanks again,
Lee C

Thanks Less,

Well that certainly answers my question. A Mac Mini would likely be running Tiger as it is fairly recent hardware, but would not be a dual processor(?). And yes, if I\'d stopped to think your answer makes sense additionally because the first CP unit is still churning away on the XP PC I have on my LAN (was gathering dust otherwise :-)

BTY, is there a way to tie together the stats between my Mac account and my PC account and still have different preferences? (The PC is a single processor)

Thanks again,
Lee C

Just installed BOINC 5.2.5 on a dual 2.5 PMac G5 running Tiger (10.4.3) yesterday and started two projects which are clicking along and downloading new work as needed.

This morning I added the Climate Prediction project and it downloaded two work units. Later today when those two units were finished, the results uploaded but no new work downloaded. In looking at the messages I see

Is the reason that they don\'t really need any more resources, they have a problem they are working on, or I have something set up wrong?

Thanks,
Lee C
