Installing MacFUSE on Leopard doesn't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Downloading the latest DMG for Leopard
2. Installing the package
3. Attempting to mount a FUSE File-system, in my case NTFS-3G

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is that after rebooting following the installation of NTFS-3G, 
NTFS-3G drives 
should mount in read-write.
Instead the drives not only do not mount in read-write, they do not mount at 
all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5

Please provide any additional information below.

macbook:Volumes robin$ sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 
/Volumes/”Windows” -o 
ping_diskarb,volname=”Windows”
kextload: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension

You should repost this on the macfuse-devel mailing list. I'm not much familiar 
with ntfs-3g, but others on 
the list can hopefully help.

You also seem to have some older/incompatible version of MacFUSE on your 
system. If you're running 
Leopard, you need to install the Leopard version of MacFUSE--did you? If so, 
did you download it from this 
web site?

http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/downloads/list

If you think you've done everything right, what's the output of the following 
command in the Terminal:

defaults read /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext/Contents/Info

This is the output of that command, I did download the Leopard version from 
this site.

macbook:Volumes robin$ defaults read 
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext/Contents/Info
{
    CFBundleDevelopmentRegion = English;
    CFBundleExecutable = fusefs;
    CFBundleIdentifier = "com.google.filesystems.fusefs";
    CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion = "6.0";
    CFBundleName = "MacFUSE (File System In User Space)";
    CFBundlePackageType = KEXT;
    CFBundleSignature = FUSE;
    CFBundleVersion = "1.0.0";
    OSBundleLibraries =     {
        "com.apple.kpi.bsd" = "9.0.0";
        "com.apple.kpi.iokit" = "9.0.0";
        "com.apple.kpi.libkern" = "9.0.0";
        "com.apple.kpi.mach" = "9.0.0";
        "com.apple.kpi.unsupported" = "9.0.0";
    };
}

It doesn't seem to be a problem with NTFS-3G, sshfs isn't working either :/ I 
didn't try spotlightfs because it 
said it was for Tiger only.

What's the output of the following commands:

1. defaults read /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion

2. kextstat | grep fusefs

That is weird. You seem to have the appropriate versions of everything.

Lets try one more thing from the command line. Lets see what dependency is not 
being met as it tries to load the 
kernel extension.

sudo kextload -t -v /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext

I am having a similar problem.  
Leopard, fresh install of FUSE and SSHFS on clean Leopard install.  Keeps 
asking for the password, no connection. 
Worked fine a few days ago with Tiger.  Connecting to Ubuntu ext3

joel.pittet, ibnrmedia:

OK, more things to check:

1. Is the directory /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext/ and 
everything under it owned by user 
'root' and group 'wheel'?

2. What's the output of:
kextstat | grep com.apple.kpi

nope I am dumb, I didn't have the RSA key fingerprint setup for that SSH 
account.  You could add that to the FAQ 
so you don't get my kind again;-)

ibnormedia: What kind of a Leopard installation is this? Your system build 
version (as coming from the 
SystemVersion.plist file) is 9A581--the GM build. However, the kernel you are 
running is a Leopard beta 
(prerelease) kernel. MacFUSE 1.0.0 is for the shipping version of Leopard (the 
version numbers in the kextstat 
output should be 9.0.0, not 9.0.0b5).

kdbdallas: You seem to have an old version of MacFUSE (0.4.0) along with a new 
version (1.0.0). Did you do an 
in-place (archive and install) upgrade of Leopard? Even then, the 1.0.0 
installer should have removed the 
previous version. Did you install something else that might have pulled in a 
different "distribution" of 
MacFUSE (fink, macports, some custom ntfs-3g package, etc.)?

I did a fresh install of Leopard. The only thing I can think of that "may" be 
the
problem... I have Fugu installed. Thats all I can think of that is in any way
"similar". I don't know if that is really similar or not... I will try 
installing
1.0.0 again and see if that works.

kdbdallas: Are you saying you did *not* install MacFUSE 0.4.0? Based on your 
message, it looks like it is both 
there and is even being used. I'd suggest reinstalling MacFUSE 1.0.0 and 
rebooting.

I am trying with sshfs.
I am trying to connect, it asks for the password, I enter the correct password, 
and
it acts like it worked (like it did with Tiger), however when I look for a new
mount/drive/anything there is nothing to be found.

Sigh.

Look at Q4.1 through 4.3 of the MacFUSE FAQ.

I opened this issue and clearly has nothing to do with kdbdallas' issues, who

I'd like it if it could be reopened, to save me from having to open it again.

As for my slightly modified version of Leopard, yes I'm a bit of a kernel 
hacker, didn't think it'd have any issues 
with a user space file system, unfortunately in the GM build of leopard there 
are certain incompatibilities with my 
own software, so it's just that? A fresh reinstall of leopard will fix this? 
thanks :D

I closed this issue because it isn't an issue. ibnormedia, you are running an 
installation that's not supported. If 
you didn't think it'd have any issues with a user space file system (you do 
realize that MacFUSE has a kernel 
extension, right?), well, surprise.
