But also, i am guessing i may have a problem running 64-bit native code on this machine, which i believe is running in 32-bit mode, tho i don't know how i can confirm this.</div><div><br></div><div>Now: before i go installing GDAL, i was just wondering, if anyone can tell me: </div><div>- is that all i will need to install? is my machine even compatible? can i switch to 64-bit mode somehow? might that cause other apps i have to fail?</div><div>- what if i just want to roll-back to 1.6.0 (which, on reflection, was making me perfectly happy!), do any of the steps associated with upgrade break compatibility with the 1.6.0 code?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>/w</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#540000"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144FAE"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Process: QGIS [14565]</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Path: /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/QGIS</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Identifier: org.qgis.qgis</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Version: ???
