fuse4x installs properly but kext doesn't get loaded (10.8)

[SockPants]

There were no peculiarities during install. I tried installing it again, nothing changed. Does anyone have fuse4x working on 10.8?

The error I get is when using sshfs:

$ sshfs site.com: /Volumes/VPS
execl: No such file or directory
fuse4x kernel extension was not loaded. Please check /var/log/system.log for more information.

/var/log/system.log contained no mention of 'fuse'.

Hi,

did you follow instructions from brew info fuse4x-kext

Also check if other log files contain info related to fuse4x: /var/log/debug.log /var/log/kernel.log (Apple all the time changes name for output kernel log file)

I propose this bug to be closed, exactly these steps are solving the issue, recently tested on 10.8

Closing.

I am having the same problem and following the instructions provided in brew info fuse4x-kext did not fix the problem. Now I am getting as a pop-up message the following error in /var/log/system.log:

com.apple.kextd[12]: Can't load /Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext - authentication problems.

Does this have to do perhaps with permissions settings on some file?

Followed instructions on brew info as above - and worked, but would be nice to have this as a warning when installing sshfs directly. Had to come here for help!

I had to run sudo chgrp -R wheel /Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext to fix authentication problems error.
