Hi all,
For you Mac users, did you just drag and drop the file into your Apps folder? Do you need Cider, or is it bundled? (it appears to be inside the package) The application won't launch for me, so I'm just hoping there's something obvious I'm missing before going out and downloading the client at 30 kps again...
Cheers, and thanks in advance.

OK, I have an addendum to my previous post. It appears that I can indeed run Eve, but only directly from the .dmg file! In other words, when I just launch the file from the mounted image it works fine, but when I copy the program to my HDD it suddenly becomes a program that is unrecognizable by the OS (Leopard). For the life of me I can't figure out what would cause this to happen!
Any thoughts?

Hey Triath Lon,
I did indeed copy the file to the Applications folder, though I don't really think that should matter. It goes from being a perfectly workable file in the .dmg image to being a file that allegedly isn't supported by my architecture (MacBook running Leopard). For some stupid reason the copying process is breaking the file, and I'll be damned if I can figure out why! I just repaired permissions (including the Remote Desktop SUID error that has plagued Leopard) and it's still not working, not that I expected that to fix the problem.
Cheers

I just wiped my HDD and reinstalled Leopard. The first thing I did, w/o patching anything, was to try and copy Eve to the Apps folder, and the file is still unsupported (this is a new file that I d/l'd last night).
The only thing left as far as I can tell is to download ANOTHER copy of the image file with this new install. Is anyone else running Leopard on a MacBook? (I've seen Leopard on iMacs but I didn't notice a MacBook)
The only remaining issue that I could possibly imagine would be that a case-sensitive HDD format somehow screws up the file. That is, everything is OK so long as it is inside the image file, but once it is copied to the HDD the introduction of case-sensitivity interferes with a configuration file somewhere inside the package. Any Mac users here have a case-sensitive format?

Thanks for the replies everyone. It turns out that the program is not compatible with a case-sensitive HDD format, as I just got it to install without a hitch after another drive format. Funny, but I'm glad this problem cropped up because I did not realise that case-sensitive formats are a somewhat new MacOS feature (at least for non-server apps) and support may vary from app to app.
Thanks again for everyone's help!

So I ask again, when might we see ATI support? Why isn't ATI support at the moment (just curious)?

Hmmm so I wasted 2.4GBs of bandwidth downloading this 3 times till i could get it to load... Thanks for the delayed message 
I'm sorry about that.
Hey, it could be worse. Look on the bright side, at least he didn't have to download the program 3 times and format his drive twice! :-)
Thanks for your efforts to get a (more) native client for us non-MSers.
