:: Weave 0.20 add-on release currently works only on Intel-based Macs. If you are not sure, You can determine which platform you are running by clicking the Apple menu at the top left of your screen and selecting "About this Mac".  If the information next to Processor does not include "Intel", the cryptography library that Weave uses will not work unless you compile Weave 0.20 yourself.
:: The official Weave 0.20 add-on release currently works only on Intel-based Macs. If you are not sure what type of Mac you have, you can determine which platform you are running by clicking the Apple menu at the top left of your screen and selecting "About this Mac".  If the information to the right of "Processor" does not include "Intel", the cryptography library that the official Weave build uses will not work, and you will get "invalid passphrase" errors when you try to set up your account.  Don't despair!  You can still use Weave 0.20:


:: Uninstall the add-on for now and follow the instructions [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Building#Building_Weave_0.20_on_MacOSX_for_PPC to compile Weave 0.20].
:: For now, uninstall the add-on, and you can either [http://www.10deam.com/weave/weave-020-ppc-unofficial.xpi use the community-provided PowerPC Weave 0.20 build] (unofficial, but recommended) or build your own using the instructions [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Building#Building_Weave_0.20_on_MacOSX_for_PPC to compile Weave 0.20] (for the more adventuresome).
