[Flickrfs-users] How i got flickrfs to mount on MacFUSE

[<ro...@be...>]

Hey all!

After following the conversations here in the mailinglist i gave it a shot,
and here's what i did:

1. Install MacFUSE using binary: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
2. Install the FUSE Python bindings, as instructed on:
http://blog.macos.fr/post/2007/01/18/GMailFS-for-Mac-OS-X
3. Installing links-ssl using fink: (used for authorizing the flickr api
connection)
# sudo apt-get install links-ssl
4. Changing ~/.flickrfs/config.txt to use browser:links instead of
browser:/usr/bin/firefox
5. create directory to mount to:
# sudo mkdir /flickr
6. set environment variable for old-style-py-bindings:
# export FUSE_PYTHON_COMPAT=0.1
7. Start the actual filesystem:
# sudo python /path/to/flickrfs.py /flickr
I get,
Authorizing flickr...
(opening links, logging in, activating)
Authorization complete.
(and sometimes i get)
Sets are being populated in the background.
8. Unmount it again:
# sudo umount /flickr

However, i got it to mount, but that doesn't mean i got it to work, because
i get some fuse related errors, i guess, in the terminal:
#fusefs@0 on /flickr (gave up on init handshake)

and if i cd into /flickr i see nothing or sometimes (?) i get "Device not
configured"-error or "Bad file descriptor"-error

but i do see it listed when i "df -h", like this:
flickrfs.py                 0B     0B     0B   100%    /flickr


Well, that's as far as i got, just thought i would share it with the world
;) Any thoughts and ideas on what might be wrong? And where to begin to get
further?


Cheers!
