Hi Dave, That is very odd - oh, I have just found something - I am using the ppc version ;o)
The ppc version works file on intel machines (some complex spell casting that macs do I guess) so you may be better off downloading and using that one: file `which pointless-1.2.16` /Users/graeme/CVS/xia2/binaries/mac_386/pointless-1.2.16: Mach-O executable ppc That one works fine on my machine - intel mac, 10.4.11 as is yours - you should be fine then. Now I think on when I asked about this a leopard was involved, so I ended up using this.
