Greetings to all of you on this noble forum, and I should like to give a calm collected "'Alo!" to everyone here!
I have been seriously involved with Bitcoin for about a month now; in fact, I am part of a business that partly specializes in Bitcoins (mostly as a financial backbone) and finally software development on the frontend. I love the idea of having Bitcoin being somewhat of a passive form of income that we can use to help sustain us (food, electricity, internet, rent, etc.,) while we are programming on the iOS. The reason that I have come to this prestigious forum and thread is that I have a Apple related technical problem involving poclbm (using the latest version on a new iMac).
I've been spending time looking on Google, and a couple other search engines (not that I figured it would matter outside of Google) as well as this entire forum, and I have not been able to find an answer to this question. It is preventing me from utilizing all of the potential computing power that I have available to me at this juncture. I wouldn't mind posting my issue on this part of the forum (Newbie), but I do also request to be
whitelist'ed so I can post this question in the (Technical Support) area, as this seems to be a little more technical than the average layman would be able to resolve, considering that Google wasn't able to help me -- here we go. I suppose this forum post is going to be a double-request for assistance, both whitelisting and technical support!
My issue is that when I try to start POCLBM through the Terminal on my iMac using the "-d 0" tag, trying to utilize the HD6750M, I get an error that keeps repeating on the screen about once per second:

bye
The final line where it shows my MH/s is not accurate by the way, if you couldn't already tell. I'm not using any odd flags, though I have tried using -w (128/256), using vectors (-v), and the rest of the flags that affect performance I believe, and no matter what I do it keeps saying this. Now, I have already installed OpenCL (I believe it was installed properly), as well as the other components that require installation. This could be the underlying reason, but I believe these things are probably installed correctly. I know python is installed properly, because when I run POCLBM and set "-d 1" (Intel CPU) it runs fine, gives me about 4.1MH/s. I use POCLBM on all my Windows based machines for high-end Bitcoin computing, running about 3.4GH/s between 3 machines.
If any of you have any ideas as to how I might fix this, please post or message me -- I will respond expediently with any information you require to assist with this request!
Thank you very much, and I do hope to be whitelist'ed soon so I can bring this question to Technical Support.

I'd like to see you try resolving your issue here (in the Newbie forum) first. If nobody can provide you with a solution in about the next 10 hours, PM me and I'll move the thread.
