Topic: MacMiner beta with bfgminer included - testers wanted - page 2. (Read 28673 times)
ah, it's cool Thanks for all the help though. I use a Core i5 iMac at work so once I get it updated to ML, I'll see how it goes on there.
damn. short of removing all the libraries mentioned by brew doctor and trying again or reinstalling mountain lion (which on a regular mac at least, leaves your files intact and just installs a fresh system) I'm out of ideas. It might be something to do with being a hackintosh… sorry I can't be of any more help!
I ran both of those commands for brew and for Macports. Restarted the machine and reinstalled MacMiner. Same doggone error.
I'll try those. And yeah, I can't get any appstore stuff to work other than updates, because this is a custom built hackintosh 
shhhh... don't tell.
shhhh... don't tell.
aha, it looks as though we're getting close to the root of the problem!
brew remove libusb jansson
^that should take care of those
but you have some other warnings related to macports so if just removing those and running the MacMiner installer again doesn't work you might want to run
sudo mv /opt/local ~/macports
which will put all your macports installs in a directory called macports in your home folder and stop them being loaded by the system.
just in case they're related, does the app store give you an error code when you try to install the xcode update?

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.
Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
/opt/local/bin/gpg-error-config
/opt/local/bin/libgcrypt-config
/opt/local/bin/ncurses5-config
/opt/local/bin/ncursesw5-config
/opt/local/bin/pcre-config
Warning: Your Xcode (4.5.2) is outdated
Please install Xcode 4.6.2.
Warning: You have MacPorts or Fink installed:
/opt/local/bin/port
This can cause trouble. You don't have to uninstall them, but you may want to
temporarily move them out of the way, e.g.
sudo mv /opt/local ~/macports

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
jansson
libusb
Warning: /usr/bin occurs before /usr/local/bin
This means that system-provided programs will be used instead of those
provided by Homebrew. The following tools exist at both paths:
easy_install
easy_install-2.7
Consider amending your PATH so that /usr/local/bin
occurs before /usr/bin in your PATH.
I knew Xcode was out of date. For some reason I can't get the installer for 4.6.2 to launch but I didn't figure it was *that* big of a deal. Anyway, how do I uninstall with Brew?
it's good to see you don't have any conflicting installs, although I do wonder whether the jansson and/or libusb are having problems with the versions the installer puts in - how does running brew doctor look? It might throw up some issues around those…
I would suggest using brew to uninstall both then running the MacMiner installer again

Neither macports nor homebrew should cause a problem (i have one machine running each I've tested on) but it's not advisable to have them both installed at the same time... can you please run
port installed
and
brew list
in terminal and post the output of both here?

Yeah, it gave the same error on slush. Repaired permissions and still the same. Is it possible that installing Xcode (and Xcode command line utils), Macports, and Homebrew may have caused some problems? I installed MacMiner last and I've installed it over itself several times.
Oh and could you please go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open disk utility, select your startup disk at the top of the left pane and 'Repair Disk Permissions' on the right under First Aid please? It could be a permissions problem with a standard library..
The alias files are there with a standard install - they're mostly just linking names a program might be looking for to what's actually there - libcurl.3.dylib and libcurl.dylib pointing to libcurl4.dylib for example.
Is the output for bitcoin mining on slush's pool the same?

All of those lib files exist. I copied everything like you said and did the cp with terminal and still have the same error. I did notice when I was looking through the usr/lib folder that I had 173 alias files in there. Should those be there?
entered my info for slush's pool and it doesn't like that either.

Hmm, it's a little tricky as it's not telling you what's failing to load… Do you have a bitcoin mining account you could test it with (so it's not using scrypt)?
Could I ask you please to check whether all these files exist (and are not aliases):
/usr/lib/dyld
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libjansson.4.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib
/Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/lib/libblkmaker_jansson-0.1.0.dylib
/Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/lib/libblkmaker-0.1.0.dylib
If you're in the Finder you can choose 'Go'-'Go to folder' from the menu bar and paste each of those in there
It might also be worth pasting this in your terminal:
sudo cp /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/lib/libblkmaker_jansson-0.1.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
press enter and when prompted enter your password and it'll copy that dylib to /usr/local/lib
alternately, 'Go' to /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/lib/ and copy everything except pkgconfig to /usr/local/lib by dragging it across while holding 'alt'.
if that works please let me know and I'll update the installer!

Ah sorry, my fault, it means it's not linked up to the libraries properly because I used aliases to replicate my system - I've replaced the aliases with the actual libraries now, if you download the pkg and run it again you should have success running it in the terminal now! Thanks for being patient 
Patient with you? Thanks for being patient with me! I reinstalled with the new pkg and got the same thing.

Sorry for being such a noob. I found this but I have no idea what it means.

Seems to want to work, then I get this, I have been getting this a lot with different miners, cgminer, reaper...
http://i.imgur.com/4PC5kJS.png
I've installed Xcode, Macports, and even Homebrew to try to get these to work. I looked up that error and it seems that it can be almost anything.

I've set up an account at the pool to do some testing, and it does seem to work for me when I set it up with pool http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 and options --scrypt OR -C (<-C to use CPU as well) but it doesn't seem to like multiple arguments in the Options text view, and it seems to have connection issues returning work to the pool, so I'll have to bugfix that before scrypt works in the GUI…
For the time being, you can get it working by opening the Terminal, there entering
cd /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin
(press return)
./bfgminer -o http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 -u USER.1 -p PASS --scrypt --shaders 1600 -C
(press return)
shaders 1600 is the best for your GPU taken from here:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README.scrypt
edit: oh and re the GPUs it's supposed to use all by default but you can set -d 0, -d 1 on the command line to make sure it uses both

Not only did I put in ".com" instead of ".eu", I also failed to put in a port number. whoops. Anyway, Got that all worked out and now this is what I get:
After that, it stops. I press Start again and get the same thing. Also, is it using both cards when it says "Selected 0: ATI Radeon HD 5870"? If not, is there a way to make it use both?
