Hi Edward, > I must say, this is all very confusing.
Agreed. > Benjamin, the thread you posted has the last post listing this: > >> The source code of the first build can be found here >> http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/msg/08b51b5bb0744358 >> Some build instructions >> http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/msg/3e241f9f051bfa6a >> The source code of the second build and build instructions can be found here >> http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/msg/b1e3b98fd491b8e6 >> The whole thread 64-bit MacFUSE 2.1.7 thread >> http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/msg/3e241f9f051bfa6a > > The source code of the "first build" (the first link) refers to > version 2.1.9 but the "second build" seems to refer to 2.1.7. In short: There have been two recent builds of MacFUSE that support 64 bit kernels. The build I listed first (2.1.9) uses a superior locking mechanism compared to the secondly listed build (2.1.7). Therefore you should try the build I listed first (2.1.9). > This is the confusion. Are the version numbers going backward? There's > a ways to go until version 0.0... As the version number suggests 2.1.7 actually was done before 2.1.9. I just listed 2.1.9 first because this is the way to go. Hope this clears up the confusion. At the moment 2.1.9 is the most recent version. You can download the unofficial MacFUSE 2.1.9 build from Tuxera http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg or the source code http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-rebel-2.1.9-src.tar.bz2 If you have any further questions, shoot! > On Mar 6, 5:40 pm, Benjamin Fleischer <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Daniele, >> >> 8 GB of RAM does not mean you need the 64 bit kernel.
