Hi. Only signed up to this last night and was really excited about setting this all up.
To find that the agent won't install? I am running OS 10.7.1 and the installer bounces around in the dock for a while then disappears. I'm guessing that the Installer is universal Binary meaning Intel and PPC. But when this is done the App is actually written for PPC and the Intel machine emulates to support the PPC application. Any news on a work around or update coming out soon so the app can run on machines running 10.7? As 10.7 no longer supports PPC programs (It's been nearly 6 years since PPC macs stopped being made this was going to happen at some point) Also with the new Grand central Dispatch, Hyper threading, Turbo boosting and full 64bit support.. the new machines have all this, and could be harnessed really well if someone develops the app correctly. But for the mean time... is there a work around? |

Hi and welcome to WCG
We know about the [new OS] Lion issue. Install again and it is said then to work. If not, fetch the 6.12.35 which was corrected for multiple Lion related issues. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?all_platforms=1 --//-- |
