[Rxtx] RXTX OSX installer problems

[Ronald van Raaphorst]

Thanks all for pointing out that I should look in the /dev and find the port.
It isn't there, so I tried to install a pl2303 driver,

from http://github.com/downloads/failberg/osx-pl2303/osx-pl2303-0.4.1-failberg.pkg
(via the link in the ReadMe section of https://github.com/failberg/osx-pl2303)

I also tried http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/prolificpl2303driverfor64bitmacosx.html
and http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/pl2303usbtoserialdriver.html

All to no avail. None of them show an extra port in /dev...
Does anyone have another solution?

Ronald
