thanks boxster! when i issue that command from the directory in which rpcminer is in i get the following:
-bash: ./rpcminer: Permission denied
you know when i double-click on the downloaded rpcminer, rpcminer 2 appears.
what is rpcminer 2?
i tried running your command with rpcminer 2 and it doesn't like the space between the 'e' and the '2'.
thanks for your time.

chmod +x rpcminer

./rpcminer -url=deepbit.net:8332 -user=username -password=password

greetings. thank you very much for compiling this for us. if i'm newbie enough to need someone to compile for me, you can imagine what my time in terminal is like. i have the same error as lathom. i've seen the syntax: ./rpcminer -u login -p pass -o deepbit.net -r 8332 -v 2 -f 2 -w 129 elsewhere and tried that but got the following error: -bash: ./rpcminer: Permission denied. any pointers would be greatly appreciated. have a bang-up day.

./rpcminer -url=deepbit.net:8332 -user=username -password=password

I compiled a binary of rpcminer for Mac OS 10.6 ‘Snow Leopard’. This binary distribution is built from the source code distribution from 2011-02-27. There are three necessary platform modifications to the original source to make it compile and run on Mac OS.

Download rpcminer for Mac [binary] (1.244 MiB) at MegaUpload.

I hope someone will find it useful. Donations: 14V7RiwD3joqDF2Jv6zst3ZnQsR686u9iH  

It’s been tested on a MacBook Air running Mac OS 10.6.5 and a Mac Mini running 10.6.7 against the mining.bitcoin.cz pool.
