Hi Glenn, and welcome to BOINC! (You might want to spell it "BOINC" instead of "Bionic", or some people may jump at your throat...)

I don't know of many people using the Mac version. Paul D. Buck is the only one I can remember right now. Myself, I'm using the Windows version, so I can't be of much help to you. Sorry! Maybe you can post a question in Questions & Promblems Macintosh or in Number Crunching. But I advise you to search the forums first for an answer. Use this search box.

Good luck! :)

Hello Glenn,

did you ever have boinc on this machine before? Did you properly uninstall it? If not respect what it says in the readme of the installer: "Troubleshooting tip: The installer writes a file /Library/Receipts/BOINC.pkg.  If the installer refuses to let you install, trash this file and try again."
I got stuck there as well and could install without problem after removing this receipt.

Yours,
Dominik
