Hi,

I haven' t wven got to run the lh command, I'm stuck with the installation:

1. I unpack IDM 6.0 2005q4M3 to a temporary directory

2. I run: sh install (or change permission on install script)

3. I get:

Platform not supported for media spanning: com.sun.wizards.media.Mac_os_xMediaSupport

I am trying to install in a new macbook laptop:

Darwin macca.local 8.7.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.7.1: Wed Jun 7 16:19:56 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.9.72.obj~2/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

it is all updated with

java version "1.5.0_06"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-112)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-64, mixed mode, sharing)

I have also installed xcode to get JDK1.4.2, have setup JAVA_HOME and PATH

to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2

and get the same error.

Doumentation only says to accomodate lh script to recognize the OS but does not give a clue as to how. So I tried adding:

elif [ "$OS" = "Darwin" ]; then

ARCH=darwin

ARCH_DIR=darwin

in the install script but this is only a bad/wild guess..

I tried putting:

-Dos.name=Linux at the end of install script as java argument, and the graphical environment starts ok, but when I get to specify an installation directory I get a message that there is no suffient disk space in the partition, I got about 20GB free of disk space, tried several other partitions and as root user and get the same message.

What modifications are needed in install and lh script to get IDM 6.0 working in Mac OS X?

anybody? Someone has to have this working...

hello? anybody? I think this is a documentation problem, not something that needs to open a tech support case because someone already has solved it, can anybody at least tell me who to send a request for this?

The solution is to do a manual install of the product, afterwards, you modify lh script to detect Mac OS X Darwing OS type like stated before.

I downloaded XCode from apple to get the JDK, I use Tomcat 5.0.28 and pointed JAVA_HOME to /Library/Java/Home in catalina.sh.

I guess that is everything you need.

I'm having the same problem as you originally had. Could you perhaps tell me how to do a manual install?

java -Xms256M -Xmx256M -Dos.name=unix install Works for me to run the GUI based installer
