I went ahead and copied a fresh directory from the .dmg file from the torrent that I downloaded last night. I am running as administrator, and I checked the permissions on the folder to ensure read/write access for owner, group and everybody (bad security I know just hedging bets). Then I ran the Java Updater, it did run for a while.
psclient.app started to open the client window, but did not even get the startup graphic loaded before it crashed, and I got the message below:
Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libdl.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/g4mini/Desktop/Planeshift3D/psclient.app/Contents/Resources/csjpgimg.csbundle
Reason: image not found
So my question is: Why update tonight and check tomorrow? Would I just update tonight and check tonight? Or update tomorrow and check tomorrow? What do you mean specifically by "check"? Do you need Console output?
Thank you, Xordan, dfryer and everybody!
