Does anyone knows what do i need to have installed to be able to mine litecoins on Mac 10.6.8? I'm using Bitminters java mining program for mining bit coins and i have speed of 98Mhps. Problem is that there is no option in Bitminter for litecoins.
I tryed with bfgminer, followed ton of tutorials, installed ton of software (like xcode, brew etc.). I can mine Bitcoins with all of those programs, but as soon as i try --scrypt option to mine litecoins i get errors in all of those programs.
I'm assuming there is some piece of software i'm missing on my machine as that same miners work on other computers (Windows and Ubuntu). Can someone help me out and tell me or at least point me in right direction to what i'm missing.
Error that i'm getting from bfgminer:

<program source>:723:11:{723:11-723:15}: error: no matching overload found for a
rguments of type 'unsigned int  __attribute__((ext_vector_type(4))), unsigned in

the error doesn't say much, and well it's hard to help you at all but at the very least you should check to make sure your OpenCL installation went good

the linux litecoin miners are much easier to install i find. maybe you can run a virtual linux machine (vmware fusion for mac) and try it in there?
