Hello, I've been trying to get AccessGrid Toolkit 3.2 beta 1 working on OSX 10.6.2 and write a short tutorial on the steps necessary to fix the issues with the application that is installed by default. I've been able to get the vic patch to work, but I cannot get rat 4.4.01 to function. In the RAT preferences, it always reverts to "No Audio Device" instead of "Default OSX Audio Device".
Can anyone share ideas or point me to notes that can help troubleshoot this? Thanks. //c --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Install AG Toolkit 3.2 beta 1 on OSX 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Download AGtoolkit (OSX 10.5, Intel, Python 2.5): http://www.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/3.2-beta1/macosx/AccessGrid-3.2-beta1-intel-Py25.dmg After installing Intel AG 3.2 beta 1, download the following patch: http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/macosx/10.6/AG-3.2-beta-patch.txt Then on the command-line: cd /Applications sudo patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/AG-3.2-beta-patch.txt The assumes the patch file was downloaded to the Downloads folder in your Home directory (i.e ~/Downloads), change appropriately if downloaded elsewhere.
