SoftVNS Help!

(I have asked this question in the Yahoo SoftVNS but have yet to get a response. Can anyone help?)

Will any of the current SoftVNS versions work with my Intel Macbook Pro while
using OSX
10.4 with Max/MSP 4.6?

I tried to get Soft VNS 3 beta to work with Max/MSP 4.5 but ran into multiple
errors and there
is no version of Jitter for Max/MSP 4.5 with an Intel Mac.

I also tried to run SoftVNS 2 with Max 4.5 and ran into problems as well.

Any Suggestions?
Thanks for the help!

Best holiday wishes from Iceland,

Yeah, SoftVNS is in a bad place right now and I'll be happy to see it's next full release. Using SoftVNS 3 beta on an intel is problematic, the jit SoftVNS translation objects crash Max. Best advice is to use Jitter and the cv.jit library (it's free) as you'll notice the speed benefits on an intel. Otherwise find a PPC G5, download Max 4.5, Jitter 1.5 and Soft VNS 2.

As far as running them on your Intel under rosetta emulation I never tried it.

If you already have a PPC with Max 4.6 installed I believe you can run 4.5 and 4.6 on the same computer without uninstalling 4.6.

Hope that helps.
