Re: [Jython-dev] Installer test

Hi Finn,

I try to run the installer on Mac and I got the folowing error:

try path /Data1/Applications/Java/Jython/
can not get flavour null for os 'Mac_OS'
exception in called method net.sourceforge.liftoff.installer.Install2.main
java.lang.NullPointerException

Then I download liftoff-001031.tar.gz but I was not able to expand it
because "zip entry is garbled".
