By setting nproc explicitly to an integer > 1 the expression "pprocess.get_number_of_cores()" (which gave an error for not finding /proc/cpuinfo on your mac) is not evaluated. Then it continues happily, and I suppose pprocess forks of its processes and then dies gracefully - due to no/poor support on the mac. Did you see if there are any processes running after starting the searchlight - e.g. using 'top' or 'ps'? In any case, if you want to use multicore support on the mac I suggest to install virtualbox and run neurodebian virtually. I'm using a mac myself and that works fine. _______________________________________________ Pkg-ExpPsy-PyMVPA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exppsy-pymvpa
