ScreamerNet on remote machine error

[bassmanjam]

I've been trying to set up some remote render machines - all Mac - following the guides laid out by DreamLight (http://www.dreamlight.com/insights/10/welcome.html).
However, on the only remote machine I've tried so far ScreamerNet gives me this error:
dyld: /Applications/Newtek/ScreamerNet can't open library: @loader_path/libpreview.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

The file seems to exist in the SharedSupport folder. I'm probably overlooking something.

ScreamerNet works fine on the host machine.

OS 10.4.11 / 10.3.9

I assume you've mounted the Macintosh HD from your primary computer on your remote computer. You need to place that HD at the head of your text line. It should look something like this: Macintosh HD/Applications/Newtek/ScreamerNet

If your drive is named something else then that is what should read at the head of the line of text.

Thanks for the reply hdace.
It seems the problem was with the remote machine running on an older OS (10.3.9). Once I switched over testing to a Mac Pro running Leopard, things ran more smoothly.

The only hitch right now is outputting the frames to my shared volume. I've seen this in other threads. My scene file looked ok and my plugins were being loaded for the most part. I tested outputting the files locally instead of to the shared volume and all is well. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the shared volume being mounted with afp on a VPN over SSL connection - not exactly familiar waters for me. I'm happy with what I've got so far. :beerchug:

Just bought BNR4 and I'm pretty happy with it. Depending on you budget, I highly recommend it. Alone the split frame option is so great. No more manually splitting up your scene.

Cheers

If I were on PC, I would definitely be down with that. The choices for render controllers on Mac are paltry. Renderfarm Commander would be super if it were UB. I can't quite justify the expense of Screamernet Controller yet.

Have you tried eblu's Easy?
