mkdir: No such file or directory
SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Failed creating OpenGL pixel format
NÂgot gick fel!

Does anyone have any ideas. I am primarily a PC user, but my mac is an ibook. I'm looking forward to playing Dom2 wherever I might go ;D.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

See the Last handful of Posts in the thread I started... when I got it to work, I felt like the cat that had extracted a mouse that was hiding in his own ear... at the same time so clever for looking there and so dense for not noticing the unbalanced weight on his head.
Command-click on the dominions2.app file, then control-click. You will see the "Show package contents" prompt. This was the part I was missing the whole time. Go through the Contents/Resources line. Anything in the patch that has an Older Version in the original? Replace from the patch. It'll ask for your user password at least once.
Now for the key move. Contents/MacOS. There will be a Unix executable. Take the Unix executable from the patch and dump that in replacing the original again. Poof. Done. Just don't play Jotunheim Utgard.
