(Re-)activated MacOS executable built on MacBook PRO.
Will be watching closely for errors. Eric and Igor.

my MacBookPro5.5 with OSX 10.6.8 still returns computation errors.

Same here on my Mac mini Mid 2010 and also OSX 10.6.8.
Edit: http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/show_host_detail.php?hostid=9971611

Thanks for the feedback.
We will be right on this tomorrow afternoon
(CEST). Eric.

Same here
iMac 27", MAC OS X 10.8, BOINC 7.0.28

Thanks for giving my MacBook Pro some work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I'm seeing different behavior between two similar machines:

MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (2.4 Ghz i7) running 10.8: Crunching away!

MacBook Pro 15" Early 2011 (2.3 Ghz i7) running 10.8: Computation errors only.

I will try re-attaching the project on the erroring laptop and let you know how it goes.

Which BOINC version - same on both?

>Which BOINC version - same on both?

Yes, both are running 6.12.35

Detach/reattach on the Early 2011 and it seems to be crunching away now.

I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion on both machines so it may have been a permissions issue.

To clear my thoughts; the issues are;
Mac hardware model
Mac OS version
BOINC client version
boinc_api
nd maybe the Intel ifort compiler
as I believe we have resolved issues with boinc_api_fortran
and SixTrack itself.

The executable runs on the system on which it was built aMacBook Pro
and on myMacBook Pro, bothe prett modern and up to date with
Lion (I don't have the Version info to hand right now).

We are watching this thread closely. Thanks for the feedback. Eric.

I can copy that - De/reattaching the projekt did the trick - a new WU ist running now on my Mac mini with Boinc 6.12.43.

@eric: Boinc displays only the Darwin(kernel) version, not the Mac OS version - so Darwin 10.8.0 translates to OSX 10.6.8 - please see here

Edit: forgot the requested Mac hardware model: Macmini4,1 - its the Mid 2010 model

I can confirm that a Detach/Reattach fixed my Computational Error messages.

I wonder if the older "bad" executable is hanging around.
To be checked. Eric.

And my first Mac WU validated ok - http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/result.php?resultid=6005248
Between, nice performance of the Mac executable Sixtrack v444.02:

6005247 	9975159 	18 Aug 2012 | 8:27:57 UTC 	18 Aug 2012 | 22:26:01 UTC 	Fertig und Bestätigt 	16,865.48 	16,591.66 	182.19 	SixTrack v444.01 (pni)
6005248 	9971611 	18 Aug 2012 | 8:26:15 UTC 	18 Aug 2012 | 14:12:21 UTC 	Fertig und Bestätigt 	17,194.49 	16,889.65 	182.19 	SixTrack v444.02 

My slightly dated Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8800 @ 2.66GHz took only a little longer than the recent and more potent Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz of my wingman.
Good Job Eric :)

downgrading the BOINC version from 7.0.28. to 6.12.35. solved the problem!

FYI,
This configuration has been producing success tasks since Mac tasks restart.
Five complete, two waiting, two in progress. Host was de/re-attached at restart of Mac tasks.

......and I wonder if that got you a new executable as well?????
