To those who have been requesting that XgridLite start working on Leopard: first of all, sorry it’s taken so long for me to think about it. I didn’t even upgrade myself to Leopard until the middle of this year, and since then I’ve been pretty busy working, touring with my band, and finally starting a new life as an ecology grad student. The good news is that being a grad student means I’ll be running simulations again soon, so I’m selfishly motivated to have a working XgridLite on my machine.
I finally popped open the code after a long hiatus and tried it out. I was hoping the problem would just be a simple problem like the controller argument syntax changed, but I got this message in the console log:
ERROR: you must be running with root privileges
This is the same message you get when you run xgridctl c start as a regular user from the command line. So the mechanism I used to run as root under Tiger is clearly not working under Leopard. Perhaps this is related to the new security mechanisms (which I know nothing about) that Apple added.
I’ll try to tackle this tomorrow.
