Download the jLog application for Mac OS X

The installer and optional files are available under these License conditions:

*) These files are only needed if a Radio or Keyer is to be connected via a serial communications port. New, improved RXTX version 2.1-7.

**) Right-Click to save

Alternative RXTX installer for Tiger only.

Instructions

1. Log in as the preferred user (need Administrator privileges) and download the installer program that corresponds to the selected version of jLog, e.g. to the Desktop (folder).
    
2. Start the installation by double-clicking the install.zip file and normally using the default values.
    
3. This description explains how to switch between the Java Runtime Environments that are available on your computer.
   
   The next steps are only necessary if you are going to connect a radio or keyer.
    
4. If you are upgrading from V 3.x or V4 Beta 2 (i.e. from an older version of RXTX), please remove the file 'libSerial.jnilib' in the '/Library/Java/Extensions' folder
    
5. Please download 'RXTXcomm.jar' and 'librxtxSerial.jnilib' and install them in the '/Library/Java/Extensions' folder.
    
6. Please download 'fixperm-217.sh' and install it e.g. on the 'Desktop'.
    
7. Important: Open a Terminal window (found under Application->Utilities) and type:
   
   $ cd Desktop     (or the folder where you downloaded the script)
   $ sudo sh ./fixperm-217.sh
   Password: <your administrator password>
   
   This will set the proper privileges for accessing the serial port driver.

NOTE:

To install:
If you experience problems starting the installer after download, please make sure that you are not expanding 'install.zip' into 'install.app' using an old StuffIt Expander (e.g. V 8). Use another expander or download the new free StuffIt Expander V 10.

To run:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 ("Panther") users need to apply one of Apple's QuickTime 7.0.1 Reinstallers to run Java applications using Java 1.4+. There should be no problems using Java 1.3*.

• Reinstall QuickTime 7.0.3 to 7.0.1
• Reinstall QuickTime 7.0.4 to 7.0.1
• QuickTime 7.1.2 users must wait for a reinstaller and use jLog with Java 1.3. See here how to change the Java version (i.e. use 1.3*).
