A solution to my problem…

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Earlier this week I blogged about not being able to get Snow Leopard and Flex Builder 3 to work properly together and how it had become a problem for me…

Well unfortunately I couldn’t find a solution so I decided to give something drastic a try. I had already backed up my machine once, so I knew all my data would be preserved. What I did next was do a clean install of Leopard, followed by an install immediately afterward of Snow Leopard. I then installed Flex Builder 3, and low and behold it worked fine.

I have now transferred all my old data onto my machine and am still in the process of re-installing all my old applications, but for now, I am much happier. Something in my previous configuration must have been what was causing the problem of not letting Flex Builder 3 install on Snow Leopard, but I have no idea what that was so I will let it be and just be happy I can go back to doing my work!

Pain in my snow leopard…

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Today, I finally got my hands on my copy of Snow Leopard. I installed it immediately and low and behold, it sucks.

It pains me to say that about an Apple product, but I can no longer run Xtorrent (no biggie), but Flex Builder won’t run either. It can’t seem to find the Java SDK. I tried a fresh install of Flex Builder 3 and due to some install errors, I can’t even get the damn thing to try to start up to give me the error anymore.

I’ve been searching tirelessly for a solution through Google, and sadly, it looks like I am going to have to go ahead and make a copy of the data on my HD, and do a fresh “install and erase” on my Macbook. This isn’t the solution I wanted to have to do, but I need Flex so that I can work, and I need to be able to work ASAP.

I have to throw out a big “fail” for Apple here… and I am not happy about this at all…
