hi

I'm using mac os. and I download fpart following link "http://moo.nac.uci.edu/~hjm/parsync/utils/fpart" after I run the following commands ;

$ chmod +x fpart
./fpart

I getting the following error: sh: /usr/local/bin/fpart: cannot execute binary file

even when I'm trying to do it manually, I get the same thing. it seems that fpart don't support on mac os, (even that according to https://github.com/martymac/fpart it should work

Fpart is primarily developed on FreeBSD. It has been successfully tested on : ... Mac OS X (10.6, 10.8)

)

what am I missing?

Hello @udiNur,

What you have downloaded is an executable for a GNU/Linux distribution. Please download the source version of fpart and re-build it for Mac OS. Mac OS X is supported and should work out of the box :)

Best regards,

Ganael.
