I would think that the downloads should be set up to work for as many people as possible.
The Mac download says: Mac 10.5 x86 but it does not run on fully up-to-date Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as it uses a shared library later than that available. And all the older versions are x86_64 so don't run on one of my machines. For example: $ unzip fossil-macosx-x86-20120317175325.zip Archive: fossil-macosx-x86-20120317175325.zip inflating: fossil $ file fossil fossil: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 $ ./fossil -bash: ./fossil: Bad CPU type in executable $ unzip fossil-macosx-x86-20130618210923.zip Archive: fossil-macosx-x86-20130618210923.zip inflating: fossil $ file fossil fossil: Mach-O executable i386 $ ./fossil dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib Referenced from: /Users/dmason/Downloads/./fossil Reason: Incompatible library version: fossil requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0 Trace/BPT trap I can and have built from the tar file and will provide it for my class, but it would seem desirable for the downloadable file to be the most widely executable possible. ../Dave _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
