    I've been sent this remedy by support. It works well. http://www.ironycentral.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=190683

    I tried that with the graphics files. I threw together a bash script to convert all the graphic filenames to lowercase. That didn't work, so I then used 'strings' and 'dtruss' to see what it may be looking for, but that didn't help either. I just found another built-in OS X utility called 'opensnoop' that will watch file access as it occurs. Hopefully it will show the attempts to open files. I'll have to try that once my wife gets off her system.

    Yes, my mistake. I've been going over Apple's support pages on this and I see what you and Celtic Minstrel are talking about. Thanks for the correction. I'm wondering if it was changed when this machine was updated with Leopard from Tiger. Its my wife's Mac, amidst a jungle of Linux systems. Its what I have to do my development on until I buy my own. I just can't decide if I want the 27" iMac, or the 17" MacBook Pro, but that's another topic. Master1, if you find anything, please post it.

    It's a case-sensitive, journaled file system, as I would want it to be. I've just recently started cross-platform development between OS X and Linux, where I will be porting a number of applications to OS X. Case-sensitivity is a requirement for this. I find case-insensitive systems rather sloppy, but I can see where the average user could find it annoying. Maybe I'll cobble together an external drive and format it with the case-insensitve method and see what happens. Thanks everyone.

    Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. Thanks though. I'm sure this problem is exactly what the error message says, I just don't know how to fix that on a system where every drive, file and directory is case sensitive. Edit: I tried installing AV6 to a FAT flash drive, which would not show any graphics either. FAT is certainly a case-insensitive format. :-(
  6. Hello all. When I launch the A6 demo on OS X 10.5.8 (mac mini) I only get a black screen. Now, I know that there is an issue regarding case sensitive drives and all that, but what does that really mean? OS X is based on BSD, which is very case sensitive. I installed A6 to the Applications folder, and when that didn't work, deleted it, rebooted, downloaded a 2nd time and re-installed it into my /Users/axeme folder with the same results. I feel like a noob.
