Also, I tried to download the latest R3 release for OSX (Intel) from the wiki and unfortunately I am unable to do so!!! When I click on the link it just loads the binary in the browser, and even if I download it, I am unable to extract it!!! Please help. Thanks -Narayan Iyer-

Request submitted to AltME admins.

I don't think it's compressed. Try to drag the URL for the Intel version into the download window in Safari. That usually downloads whatever is there. Note: There is a bug in it that causes it to segfault when using Chat. I hope this gets fixed really soon. -- Regards, Henrik Mikael Kristensen

Thanks, but that link is for the core version. I have: REBOL/Core 2.7.6.2.5 (17-Mar-2008) REBOL/View 2.7.6.2.4 15-Mar-2008 (PPC version) I would prefer to be running the OS X Intel version of /View if I could find a working link. -- Duke Normandin A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Hi Henrik, Thanks for your help. However, even if I drag the link below to safari downloads window, it downloads as a text file!! Dont know what to do with it!! Am I missing something? Thanks -Narayan- PS: AltME is extremely unresponsive on my mac, the beach ball showing up every 5 seconds or so!!! On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 01:50, Henrik Mikael Kristensen <henrikmk-gmail.com>wrote:

I replied privately to you on AltME, but will post here too: Since R3 for OSX is not an .app program yet, it's necessary to set permissions correctly before OSX will allow it to run. Then type in a Terminal window: chmod 755 <downloaded filename> And the icon should change into a terminal icon. Then you should be able to run it by doubleclicking it. If it still doesn't, then "Get Info" on the file (cmd-I) and change the "Open With" to Terminal. -- Regards, Henrik Mikael Kristensen
