I can't remember if I specifically did that. That was when the first Lion preview came out. I think I did and checked with lipo and all architectures (i386, x86_64 and ppc) were there but I can't remember without a doubt. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat/Skype:LaurentDaudelin http://www.nemesys-soft.com/ Logiciels Nemesys Software [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
