Thanks Jord, but I'm afraid that change is not quite correct, for a couple of reasons. I've edited the wiki some more to try to help ease the confusion. First, the NVIDIA web site says that for the current version 3.0 of the Mac drivers require Mac OS X version 10.5.6 or later (which is Darwin 9.6.0 or later): <http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/3_0/docs/GettingStartedMacOS.pdf> The older NVIDIA driver version 2.3 supports Mac version OS X 10.5.2 (Darwin 9.2.0) or later, but for clarity I didn't include that information on the Wiki page. Anyone running OS 10.5 should have upgraded to OS X 10.5.8, which is a free update. And people installing the CUDA drivers for the first time on Windows or Linux should get the newest drivers. Second, those changes have confused the Darwin version with the OS X version. BOINC doesn't support OS X 10.3.0, and Intel Macs don't run on OS X 10.3.x at all. As I tried to explain before: OS X 10.6.3 = Darwin 10.3.0 OS X 10.5.8 = Darwin 9.8.0 OS X 10.4.11 = Darwin 8.11.0 OS X 10.3.9 = Darwin 7.9.0 In general: - Darwin version 10.x.y corresponds to OS 10.6.x - Darwin version 9.x.y corresponds to OS 10.5.x - Darwin version 8.x.y corresponds to OS 10.4.x - Darwin version 7.x.y corresponds to OS 10.3.x The third part of the Darwin version number should be ignored; as far as I have seen, it is always zero. -- Charlie Fenton [email protected] BOINC / s...@home Macintosh & Windows Programmer Space Sciences Laboratory UC Berkeley _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
