user4829: I would like to do some solo mining of litecoin on OSX.  I realize the probability is low that i will hit it. but i like the idea of the lottery.  I have a miner setup (cgminer) and i have successfully connected to a pool.  I have found lots of guides that explain how to do this on Windows like:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=3rq912e407g04cjq8ehdhnk457&topic=83371.0
But what all these guides tell you to do is edit litecoin.conf and then restart litecoin-qt.  But does this still apply to OSX? I don't see a litecoin.conf anywhere.  I have looked in
Library/Application Support/Litecoin
Is it still litecoin.conf in OSX? or is it a different file?

user4638: ~/Library/Application Support/Litecoin is exactly where your litecoin.conf has to go. Just go ahead and create it.
Good Luck with the Lottery!

user3185: No suitable long-poll found means that your bfgminer could not find a server that will inform it of a new block appearing on the network. This is correct, since you are solo mining, and litecoin-qt doesn't supply this. 
Don't worry, your setup is correct. 
Not having LP only means that your miner will get informed a little bit slower by litecoin-qt about a new block a little later, and potentially doing work on a block that has just been solved for a few seconds at most.
