How come my mac won’t open the apricot builds? Every time I click on it the icon highlights and then does that thing it does to tell me it is opening it, but it won’t open! I have all the requirements. Can anyone help?

I wasn’t sure where to post this.

What is that thing?

Also, open up console, and see if any errors get printed out while you’re opening it.

What is that thing?

The icon grows for a fraction of a second.

Right, well then what’s the console print out?

5

Nothing. I am on a mac and have to open the terminal. When I click on blender, the terminal acts perfectly normal, but won’t open blender.

Not terminal, console. Its a different Application. Should be in

/Applications/Utilities

Or you can just use spotlight to search for ‘console’ and open the application.

I’m on a mac too. ppc. same problem. it’s not that the program won’t open, but it crashes the second you open it. I’m 10.4.11, which may be too old a version for the apricot builds. I think they’re made for leopard, I haven’t found any version that my computer will run… yet. I guess it’s time for me to upgrade.

If it was specifically built for 10.5+, then no it probably won’t work on 10.4.

The last Apricot build I compiled worked fine on 10.4.11 (intel). I’ll try compiling a new one in the next day or so and see how it goes.

I think I saw the one for Intel, but like I said, I’m on PPC. I know, I know. I need a new computer.

I get this:

Do you have Python 2.5 and is it installed to that directory? (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python)

If not you’ll either need to use install_name_tool to change it to the correct location via command line or install python 2.5 to that location.

Ok thanks!
