I'm getting the

gnu.io.PortInUseException: Unknown Application

error message too. Have run the setup command, rebooted a number of times - is there anything else I can try doing.

Am able to get readings with z term (I quit out of that before trying Processing)

Cheers

Hey, y'all. Just wanted to chime in that I'm also having trouble with the 0111 serial library, on a Powerbook G4 (10.4.5). The 0109 and 0108 betas run my serial app fine, but 0111 gives the gnu.io.PortInUseException.

The only difference I've noticed is that 0108 and 0109 always warn:

RXTX Warning:  Removing stale lock file. /var/spool/uucp/LK.003.009.004

But 0111 doesn't.

Yes - and I think I've done everything there

run the setup command and rebooted a couple of times.

Found in the forum that someone had tried deleting the uucp folder in
/var/spool. Tried that, ran setup command again rebooted still no joy


Got it working on a number of ppc machines so not sure what to do now - may try clean reinstall and start again as am not to far down the road with setting stuff up on here unless there are things to obviously do now.

There is a load of other error stuff listed after the gnu line -

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error inside Serial.<init>()
at processing.serial.Serial.errorMessage(Serial.java:575)
at processing.serial.Serial.<init>(Serial.java:148)
at processing.serial.Serial.<init>(Serial.java:102)
at Temporary_7286_2531.setup(Temporary_7286_2531.java:131)
at processing.core.PApplet.handleDisplay(PApplet.java:1263)
at processing.core.PGraphics.requestDisplay(PGraphics.java:538)
at processing.core.PApplet.run(PApplet.java:1146)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:552)

I'm assuming that is all related to the gnu.io error

Cheers

k, so at least the ppc version of 0111 is working, right? but the intel stuff seems broken.. hrm. i wonder what's up, cuz i'd be surprised if they had released the new version without it actually working on osx.

I have only tried 0111 on the Macbook so far - will try it out on ppc over the weekend and see what happens

Perhaps I'm alone, but I can't get 0111 serial to work on PPC either. If I open 0109 and Run, it works. Close it, open 0111, Run, it gives PortInUseException. Close it, open 0109 and Run again, it works.
