I’ve been able to compile the latest View Open Client version 3.1.2-188088 for OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. My understanding is that the latest 4.0.0 release is still known not to work on Snow Leopard. I’ll probably get to that version sometime after it is known to work.
As I’ve mentioned before, our view environment was licensed for a proof of concept test and has since expired. I was unable to test this release for full functionality but have been informed by our tester (thanks Gary) that it has worked fine for their few tests. They used a view 3.0 environment and will be testing again after updating view in the near future.
Once again, I provide no warranty and am not liable for its use or any potential problems resulting from its use.

Thank you oh so much!
awesome. this new build works just fine. i haven’t done extensive testing of USB redirection but the view desktop opens in full screen and i am able to use it on MBP running 10.6.1 in 64-bit
Excellent. The default configuration mounts /volumes on the local machine to the virtual machine. So the hard disk and any thumb drives are available from that device.
is there a 4.0 client in the making now that it is available on the google codes site?
I was working on one but wasn’t able to finish before the official one was released. I’m not intending on continuing to roll my own.
Keymapping does not fit MacBook Pro with BE keyboard
Any hints where to start fixing?
I’d probably start with the Open Client site itself and see if there is a fix/config from someone on there.
