As you are using the server in the context of the active user you will not have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. This path is used bay all mach (not Mac) applications. This environment variable is how unix applications find their associated dylib files. A unix app will first look in the active directory and then the paths defined in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH . If you do not want to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in your user space you will need to be in the server's working directory which is /Applications/Witango/Server. Try using: cd /Applications/Witango/Server ./witangod -ku > The second problem is that Witango server crashes any time I access a > FileMaker data source which has a space in a layout or field name. It is important to understand that the Witango server cannot be run as a daemon when using AppleEvents to communicate with FileMaker as a background process has no WindowServer running in the same context as the daemon process. This prevents AppleEvents being sent and received. Have you read the ReadMme that shipped with the server. It contains the information you need to migrate a FileMaker/T2K/OS9 solution to FileMaker/Witango5/OS X. If you execute a ps -aux command in the terminal you will see a process similar to this. A daemon does not have this process available to it. philwade 183 3.1 6.0 189076 31248 ??
