Mac: Not downloading email

I installed and configured POPFile on Mac OS X 10.4. Everything appears to be running fine, except it's not downloading any email from my server.

Here's the log entries from the last attempt:

Any clues?

    Hi

    I installed and configured POPFile on Mac OS X 10.4. Everything appears to be running fine, except it's not downloading any email from my server.

    Did you installed POPFile manually?
    Or are you using the Mac OS X version of POPFile v1.1.0 RC1?

    First, stop POPFile and run it in Terminal.app to see the console messages.
    (You can use 'stop-popfile.app' and 'start-popfile-with-console.app' utility

    scripts included in the installer package if you are using RC1.)

    And then, change the logger level to 2 and take a log again.
    For more information about changing the logger level, please see:

      Or are you using the Mac OS X version of POPFile v1.1.0 RC1?

      I've found that the RC1 does not work correctly on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

      Here's the POPFile log:

      A bus error occurred when POPFile tried to receive e-mails.

      I'll look into this problem.

        I'll look into this problem.

        It seems that DBD::SQLite built on Leopard is not fully compatible with Tiger/Panther.

        I've managed to build a new installer compatible with Tiger/Panther:

        http://idisk.mac.com/amatubu/Public/POPFile/POPFile-1.1.0RC2-test1-macosx.dmg.gz

        Can you give it a try?

          Thanks, Naoki! That install works perfectly!

          • Message #322

            Thank you for the report. That's a good news!
            The next RC (RC2) will be compatible with Tiger/Panther.
