Hi Jason,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Anybody else out there had similar problems to Glenn?<br>
</blockquote></div><br>I have also had bad luck with the Mac OS X .dmg installer.<br><br>One problem I had was in trying to install on a Mac OS X Server box that already had Postgres installed. My suggestion there would be to add a notice to the MilestoneDownloads page explaining that the .dmg cannot be used on such a setup.<br>
<br>My second problem was on a Mac OS X 10.4 laptop. That one may have worked, but it was unclear to me exactly what had been done, and whether I needed to take any additional actions, because there is no wiki page documenting it. The lack of documentation made me nervous enough that I ended up wiping all Postgres- and OMERO-related files (that I could find) and starting over with the manual install. So I would further suggest a dedicated wiki page (similar to the OmeroInstallWindows page, but for Mac OS X) documenting what the .dmg installer does -- i.e., which files it puts where, what gets added to StartupItems, what if any additional actions the administrator needs to take, and how to perform a clean uninstall.<br>
