Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
Where can I get a prebuilt Calendar Server package?:
We haven't yet issued a stable preview release, so no installable packages exist today. You'll need to start from the source code and take it from there.
Troubleshooting the Server
My server fails to start with this error: "Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading". What's up?
This error often happens when the Python tries to load a C extension module built for a different architecture than Python was built for. For example, if you have a module built for PowerPC and an Intel Python, you'll get this error when Python tries to load the module.
The Rosetta PowerPC emulator on Intel-based Macs can actually confuse users with it's magic because a PowerPC Python will run on an Intel Mac, but then fail to load a plugin built for Intel.
Most Python modules are written in Python, and therefore platform-independant, but the Calendar Server uses several C extension modules. Make sure that your Python and all C extension modules are built for the same architecture.
