Jim,
Thanks for the reply anyway. I've spent about three hours on this today. There HAS to be an easier way for Mac users to use this program. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. But I'll try again briefly tomorrow. At this rate, X-Plane is looking like it's worth the cost. :-(
Best, Fran

Jim,
Yes, thanks, I've read them all. I dumped 0.9.4, installed 0.9.6 including OpenAL. I'm close, because I'm getting the same message you did before you figured it out. Here's my read out when I doubleclick fgfs:

Base package check failed ... Found version [none] at: $/Users/franx2/FlightGear0.9.6/data
Please upgrade to version: 0.9.6

So I downloaded the run_fgfs file, edited it in vi and did the chmod. Here's what I now get:

Doesn't make any sense. Any ideas what you did differently? Again, sorry to bother you, but this is bedeviling me, and the program looks great.

Fran,
Have you read all of the emails between Jonathan and myself via FlightGear-Users? I started asking questions on November 27th. I never re-installed anything, I always worked with what I had installed the first time as per the readme.

Fran,
When I was getting the "no file or directory message" after using the run_fgfs application it turned out to be that the location of the fgfs application was not correctly identified. I needed to go over the instructions many times making sure that every little . or / was in the right spot. I printed out the last readme from Jonathan and followed it verbatim.
I am probably not the best person to ask about this, all I did was follow Jonathan's instructions. Jonathan (via the list) does want to know if people are still having problems. Don't give up!
