There are some OSX folks around, so I'm updating the subject and cc'ing our Mac guru. We've not had any other reports of this problem, so we know 2.3.x will run on OSX. Not that that's any help to you! Is it possible to install 2.3.x alongside 2.2.4? Possibly as a different user? If so, it'd be interesting to see the output of the reconfiguration script. That might give us some hint what's going wrong. Riki
