OS X 10.6.8 z-agent Bad CPU type in executable

[kai-bcn]

Hi all,
I just purchased my first 3 devices + the Vision USB stick:
http://www.zwaveeurope.com/fileadmin/sc ... p?id=12358
(it came with no other instructions on how to get it going with Z-Cloud)

Connecting it to my OS X 10.6.8 I see it recognized ... system_profiler SPUSBDataType lists it as a "Communication Device":
Product ID: 0x0200
Vendor ID: 0x0658 (Sigma Designs, Inc.)
Version 0.00
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Location ID: 0x5d200000 / 2

I then downloaded the Z-Connector, unzipped, and tried running "Run_Z-Agent.sh".
It shows line 12: ./z-agent: Bad CPU type in executable

My CPU is a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo.

What shall I do ?

Thanks for your pointers and all help.
Kind Regards, Kai

Are you sure to run Run_Z-Agent in OSX folder? OS X have same binary formats on all systems (even on old PPC CPU), so should be no problems with CPU type.

Yes, that's the agent, from the OSX folder. After some googling I know now: OS X has 3 different binary formats (PPC / Intel 32bit / Intel x64), some - even all 3 of which - can be bundled together as a "universal binary". That's a single file that holds multiple binary types inside. However, this binary being produced depends on the architectures that are set to be included when the binary gets compiled. Here is where to find that: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/65 ... 0&tstart=0

Using the "file" command, I can see that OSX/z-agent is 64-bit only. See below for what it shows on 3 examples. Could you check the architecture settings and provide a x86 (32-bit) for OS X 10.6.x please? I've seen that even some OpenWRT hardware can run the agent, so I'm sure this 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB Ram is powerful enough ... isn't it ?

Cheers, Kai

Wow! You have made my day! I was always sure all three are always inside the file. We will recompile it to include all three formats.

Thank you for your comments.

[kai-bcn]

You're very welcome.
Do you have any estimate on when the recompiled package is ready for testing?
And many thanks to you in advance.

PoltoS ... any ETA for the x86 compiled Mac OSX agent ?
Thanks i nadvance.

I also have a 10.6.8 Mac and would like to run this. Any updates yet?

[PoltoS]

It was done quite a long tie ago and send to some users for tests. We can send it to you too. We need some feedback before publishing it
