Well there were two duplicate OSX packages there in the download
page (not sure how/why), and the intel duplicate one looked suspiciously
small (probably corrupted).  I removed those. There were no downloads
from them, though.

It seems 45 people have already downloaded the PPC version and 97
the intel one. So I would ask, if anyone has had any problems as the one
reported by juno, please let me know. This is a very serious matter and
I have to track it down asap, if that is the case.

Otherwise, if you could just report a successful installation on 10.4 or
10.5, please do, as it would help me have confidence in the installer.

Thanks

Victor

I did a successful installation on 10.4 last night.  The only issues  
I've been having involve MacCsound, which isn't your problem.   ;-)

I downloaded and installed "Csound5.08-OSX10.4-Intel.tar.gz" on 10.4.11.
The API works, as far as I could tell.  I did try command-line csound and
csound5gui.  They ran my csd's without problems.

I can't do extensive testing because I need to run a version compiled from
sources.  I'm currently running 5.08beta (compiled from "Csound5.08.zip")
without problems.

On Leopard 10.5.2 (the latest)
I've installed and "csound tst.csd" tested  the In Csound5.08beta- 
OSX10.4-Intel packages in reverse name (ls) order.
  all files seem to be installed with user = root group =wheel
Macintosh:Desktop drw$ which csound
/usr/local/bin/csound
Macintosh:Desktop drw$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/csound
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root  wheel  13924 13 Mar 13:22 /usr/local/bin/csound*

.csd  files play without problem.

There seems too have been no installation of csnd.py or it's .so.
Should there have been? else, how is that now done, from the cvs  
repository?

It didn't seem to overwrite the existing files:
$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.Framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
Python2.3/
$ ls -l  *csnd*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  798564  4 Feb 23:39 _csnd.so*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  128459  4 Feb 23:39 csnd.py


I note that the Apple 10.5 to 10.5.2 update installed python in /

which was to be expected.

Should there have been an installation of 5.08 beta version of csnd.py  
and _csnd_so?
How is an appropriation done nowdays? I forget - , from the cvs  
repository?


ciao,
David
