About half the engineering team are using MacBook Pros, so yes this is definitely possible.

When you say "no way" can you be a bit more descriptive, to help us help you?

HI mike really thanks for the reply.

When i told no way is because are 2 days that i m try to run it on mac .

so for better explanation, i post this link where i ve just posted my problem.
http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17798

And i want to say sorry for my post but is a bit frustrating when nothing go in the right direction, and i know that a big project like this need more than a double click for install.

So my question is what is wrong i my procedure, and if for you is better to compile alfresco from svn source??

Thanks a lot Mike have a nice evening

Many thanks zaizi, in fact it works fine in less than 15 minute .

I have a couple of question:
1) It is possible to setup mysql?? from this bundle??
2) if yes maybe there is the possibility to migrate data from derby to mysql??

Anyway thanks a lot really thanks

Hi guys finally I solved all problem concern the installation.

Some guess for mac users build all from svn and do not like me, that I ve forgotten to set the ENV variable for super users(if u use sudo command). no comment
another point during the execution the ImageMagic and pdf2swf keep pointing in another location. so seems to be that probably other files override the ENV variable.
So do an easy things, in tomcat home

mkdir ImageMagick ‍

ln -s ImageMagickLocation <Alfresco>tomcat/ImageMagic‍

the same in the tomcat bin folder for pdf2swf.

In the end i use mysql 5.0 during the test of mysql 5.1 the generated sql script cause some problem like replicate index and similar stuff. I don t know why.

Thanks again people for helping me

FYI you can configure Alfresco to look for pdf2swf and imagemagick at the correct locations. See http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=17095#p56336
