Hi, After receiving your e-mail I've tried to install uDig on a Powermac G4 // 500 MHz (~ Pentium III 1GHz) with Mac OS X 10.4.3 (that rock's) So : - it's easy to install : Java 1.5 release 3 and unzip uDig) - it's easy to launch : just click (;-) But : - it's really slow to render (really slow) : I've tested a 7 Mo shapefile... about a minute - it did crah after trying to open an empty shapefile : there is no see in this area (;-)
It's better on Windows XP but with pentium 4 2 GHz (;-(. Jérémy > I haven't done anything with udig since 1.0.2 on Mac OS X. I grabbed > 1.0.5 and the new Apple Java 5 update. > > udig won't quit.
