Adium said it had an update and after updating it said Growl 1.1.2 was required. So I said "sure". After Adium supposedly updated Growl I stopped Growl and restarted. Growl said it had an update. I proceeded to update again and now the Installer is failing and Growl is no longer functioning. I won't bother posting the log as it's the same as above.

P.S. To the original poster. I find it funny you posted this at 4:17am. I thought I was the only one that was up and pissed off about this.

So I installed 0.7.6 of growl ... there is pref pane now and it seems to work. it says version 0.7.6 is the one that is installed.

I tried installing 1.1.2 over it, the install went ok, but it pref pane still says it's 0.7.6

At this point, I am happy to have this back.

We'll try again with 1.1.3.

Please watch your language on the forums.

This is due to the fact that you have growl.prefpane in both your home directory and installed for everyone. For your user, system preferences chose the one in your home directory.

Go into ~/Library/PreferencePanes/ and remove Growl.prefpane. Relaunch system prefs and that should solve this bit.

I don't think it says that it's required, only that it's optional.

How is it no longer functioning?

Similar error for me I think, although I didn't notice previously and started another thread here
