e200rpatcher.mac

henrypretz:
I searched and was unable to find anything on this topic.

I have an e250r and an imac G5 running OS10.4.11

I have downloaded the e200rpatcher.mac, unzipped and it shows on my desktop as e200rpatcher.mac.  "Get Info" describes it as a "MacPaint Image (universal)".  When I run it, it runs as a Quicktime file.  I tried to drag and drop it to the e250r and click on it and it still runs as a QT file.

Am I downloading the wrong file or perhaps handling the file wrong?  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Please help a simpleton out

Thanks -

You might make the file executable first. Also, IIRC you need to run it from the command line.

henrypretz:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Any chance I can ask you (or anyone else) to walk me through making it an executable file? (if and when you have the time)

Also, I understand that running it from the command line has to do with Terminal, but have no idea how to go about this either.

... as I said, I'm a bit of a simpleton.

thanks

I don't have a Mac, but I imagine it is the same way as on linux (given OS X is a *nix system).

From the terminal, change the directory to the one you downloaded the program to.  Check on Google how to do this, but if you downloaded it to /home/henrypretz/Desktop then type "cd /home/henrypretz/Desktop" (without the quotes).  I don't know the OS X directory structure, but if you downloaded it to your desktop, then when you open terminal you may (probably?) be able to just type "cd Desktop"

When you are in the correct directory, then type "chmod +X e200rpatcher.mac"

Then if that goes OK, "./e200rpatcher.mac" again assuming it works the same way as linux.  You may (probably) have to have root permissions to do this on a OS X.  I think sudo works on OS X, so if so you can use "sudo ./e200rpatcher.mac"

As I say, I have never used a Mac so I may be completely wrong, but if I am it just won't work.

Also, I wouldn't double-post if I were you; use the modify button lest thee art chastened by a mod.
