The Pulse Gateway is Now Available for Download

Sorry for the delay. Installer packages, available as either a self-extracting binary for i386 Linux or a Universal build for OS X, can be downloaded here.

Please note that you should be moderately clueful about network administration before attempting this. If you don’t know what “sudo” is or you don’t know how to open a firewall port, you might want to go for the really very reasonably priced for-fee service.

Speaking of which, with this event, use of the Austin Web Development Pulse Gateway Service will end on December 20th. After that time you will need to either subscribe to AWD’s $3.34/month service or setup your own proxy.

I’ll post the source code drop with updated build scripts and instructions tomorrow. Right now I’m beat.

    Looks like it was built only for INTEL on macosx:

    dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
    Referenced from: /usr/sbin/pulsed
    Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
    /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
    /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

    Uh oh, better check your make files!~!!

    Actually, the build was last testing on a dual G5 and it worked great there. Are you using a G4? I’ll do a regression test and see what happens.

    I just downloaded the installer and ran directly on one of our duel G5’s and it worked fine. Here is the output from the command line:

    Silly question. You downloaded the OS X installer and not the Linux one, right?

  8. guest, on December 14th, 2006 at 6:54 pm Said:

    yep

    zlib was updated in a recent security patch try compiling against 10.4.8

  9. guest, on December 14th, 2006 at 6:58 pm Said:

    once you download the source, ill be happy to debug the issue for you. Maybe on monday or so

  10. Garret, on December 14th, 2006 at 7:18 pm Said:

    We’re not sure that this is the issue, as we just ran the same installer on the latest seed release of leopard on a G5 without any problems.

  11. guest, on December 14th, 2006 at 8:22 pm Said:

    Yes, but have you tried on 10.4.8 yet?

    Looks like i fixed this problem by using lipo to remove the ppc64 bit arch from the pulsed binary.
