The best-in-class notification framework for Mac OS X, Growl, just got updated to version 1.1.3. One of the most missed features of Growl...

This is great, I love growl, but it broke when I upgraded to Leopard. I never had the time to do a clean install of Leopard, but this latest upgrade to Growl has solved the problem.
I can't get GrowlMail to work, even though they said it would. It won't even appear on the Applications menu for Growl.

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool YES
GrowlMail's Installer package runs a similar command, but Mac OS X has started ignoring it in Leopard (possibly in 10.5.3). I intend to file this as a bug.
Growl networking still not working for me. They need to either get this sorted or get it out of the app - pointless.

Also, you're welcome to send a description of your problem to our discussion mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/growldiscuss).
Thanks, but I wasted time on this on the forums with several other users a few versions ago and nothing came of it. It's not important enough for me to go through all that again.

For those with the instal failing, i had the same issue that was resolved if you drag and drop the growl.mpkg out of the .dmg file before you instal it (i just put it on my desktop and it worked)
June 08 2008 at 1:42 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThat has nothing to do with the âInstall Failedâ message and did not have any effect on it. The Installer package almost always works the second time, whether you it's on the disk image or not.
As for why you need to run it twice in the first place: I think it's a bug in either Installer or PackageMaker. As such, I've filed it with Apple (#5991636).
I've always had trouble with Growl networking. But I'm interested, so I'll give it another shot...

Log out.
Then install 1.1.3.
Worked for me.
"Install Failed
The installer encountered and unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
This is under 10.5.3 on a March 2008 MBP. I have a previous version of Growl installed which has been working fine.
had the same thing, closed safari and then installation went well when I tried again - not sure what was the reason tho
