Re: Nokia 5130 with Mac OS X

[Gustavo Delfino]

Thank you for your answer Michael.

Mac OS X seems to use a different naming convention for USB devices.  
In regards to the /var/lock directory, I created it and I can now set  
"use_locking = yes".

I also compiled the latest Gnokii from the git repository with  
identical results.

I am now downloading Ubuntu. If it works fine in Linux then I'll be  
sure that it is a Mac OS X problem.

Regards,

Gustavo Delfino
