I was able to install Unison using Macports (using the following website http://unison.darwinports.com/). However, I am not able to use the GUI. Can anyone assist me on how to install it? I tried running ./unison-2.13 -ui graphic but that doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks.

If you want to use GUI with Darwin port, best bet would be to install X window system along with it(or GNOME).

I am looking for the GUI for Unison not for Darwinports. Sorry if I wasn't specific.

Oops sorry.

As far as I know, there is no GUI for the Unix based version. You can use this instead.

No. I am looking for Unison the file sync program. I have it but I am looking for the GUI for it. I don't think the link you mentioned is the same thing but I could be wrong.

I was able to find the GUI for Unison however when I try to sync a directory on my Mac to my desktop I get the following error message:

Uncaught exception: *** -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)

Any ideas on why this is failing?

I just ran into this error without finding a solution for the 2.27 version.

However, Unison GUI version 2.13 works and can be found here: http://www.cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/unison/

It is not as user friendly and has afaics no diff feature, but at least it works and does it's file synchronization job well!
