After reading all the materials floating around the net about Gluster I've decided to bite, but hit a snag. I've been following the instructions to build GlusterFS on OS X client machines: http://gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Client_Installation_and_Configuration#Mac_OS_X_Installation Since there's no longer a .dmg to install from, I've followed the instruction set here: http://gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Client_Installation_and_Configuration#Source_Installation MacFUSE is installed prior to configuring GlusterFS. The result of '* ./configure'* is: GlusterFS configure summary =========================== FUSE client : yes Infiniband verbs : no epoll IO multiplex : no libglusterfsclient : no argp-standalone : yes fusermount : no ...which doesn't completely match the output presented in the documentation. In any case, I proceeded with '*make*' and encountered the following errors that prevented make from completing successfully: posix.c: In function 'janitor_walker': posix.c:1348: error: 'FTW_CONTINUE' undeclared (first use in this function) posix.c:1348: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once posix.c:1348: error: for each function it appears in.) posix.c: In function 'posix_fsync': posix.c:2863: warning: implicit declaration of function 'fdatasync' make[5]: *** [posix.lo] Error 1 make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 progressing further to '*make install'* doesn't seem to shed more light on the problem: Making install in argp-standalone Making install in . make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.

Will the .dmg be returning anytime soon for OS X clients? gcc versions: [snow leopard 10.6.2] i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1). [leopard 10.5.8] i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465) I'm eager to help troubleshoot for the betterment of the platform & community any way I can! Dave --- Dave Lindsay
