I now it´s a little late to write here, but i followed the instructions, and could do everything, except the last step: when i write: "sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.sf.gcald.plist" I get this message: "launchctl: opendir() failed to open the directory nothing found to load" I did the plist with Smultron as suggested, and i think that´s my problem... I´d be grateful to receive some help. By the way, i use tiger. Thanks in advance. Great explanations! marcodovis@gmail.com Hello!

Thank you so much for this explanation, that's the first time I got GCALDaemon run... It also seems to work, the iCal -> gCal sync works fine (haven't tested the gCal -> iCal sync yet, because my gCals were all empty and now I'm not at home so I can' test it), but I have got one serious problem ... now most of my events are doubled!!! Not the whole-day events, but the others .. they appear two times, once with the right time, and once 2 hours earlier ... seems like GCALDaemon messes up with time zones or something like that ... any ideas how to solve that?

No way getting it to work properly. That's sad but I guess we'll have to deal with it :/ After some research it seems that this solution, by now, is plain broken. No way getting it to work properly.

I have been working on it for a day and have it working sporadically. It syncs sometimes iCal to Google. I have never gotten it to sync the other way. I get duplicates on all my all day events. I would like to get this to work, but I am about to throw in the towel. Also curious if anyone has this working on Leopard. I have been working on it for a day and have it working sporadically.

My /usr/local folder has no bin and sbin subfolders and I also can't create folders any other way than using terminal as the option is disabled in finder. I would just like to ask if the approach also works in Leopard, so I won't break something. Thanks. Hello, has anybody made the daemon working with Leopard?
