Thanks so much for your help.
I browsed to the hidden directory and removed the files that were causing the conflict and now it's all good.

Unfortunately my Blue Fury devices still are not recognised but at least I'm set with Cgminer.

I should hopefully have a Blue Fury device coming soon thanks to a super nice Group Buy runner, Maidak. Unfortunately I cannot test them right now as I have none to test (I tried, no response from any of the guys making the BitFury devices Sad

).

I don't remember getting a message from you but I am happy to test for you.

You have no bitfury support in that.

Thanks - I'll get that addressed in the update I have planned for later tonight.

What devices are enabled?

You can find the arguments used with ./configure to enable devices here:

https://github.com/nwoolls/homebrew-xgminer/blob/master/cgminer.rb

Code:

                          "--enable-scrypt",
                          "--enable-bflsc",
                          "--enable-bitforce",
                          "--enable-icarus",
                          "--enable-modminer",
                          "--enable-ztex",
                          "--enable-avalon",
                          "--disable-adl",
                          "--enable-opencl"

You have no bitfury support in that.

Thanks for the help. This is the error :

And you typed the command to uninstall jansson first? That should have resolved that issue. Was Homebrew able to uninstall jansson successfully?

Basically it seems like you have conflicting jansson and libusb packages installed. You should technically remove those using "brew uninstall" and then install cgminer. Or you can type "brew link cgminer" to try linking it. If that fails it should give further steps to force the linking.

You could also skip Homebrew and compile cgminer yourself using my shell scripts. It's still just a single command from Terminal.app. Either clone the repo or download the zip here:

https://github.com/nwoolls/xgminer-osx

And then run package_cgminer.sh from Terminal.app. Or you can try the precompiled binaries here:

I've tried on 4 different Mac's now and all do exactly the same. Despite having installed 3.7.2, terminal shows me : cgminer-3.6.1 already installed, it's just not linked.

It sounds like you have conflicting Homebrew packages installed. Do:

Code:

brew uninstall cgminer
brew uninstall bfgminer
brew uninstall jansson
brew update
brew install cgminer

If you still get an error about not being linked, paste the entire output. The text should also give instructions for linking the unlinked app.

If I try and run cgminer my terminal window just flashes and gives me a new line waiting for me to input some text, cgminer does not run.

What exactly am I doing wrong here?
