OSX Crash On Proce55ing Startup
« on: Aug 2nd, 2002, 11:58pm »

Hello,  
 
The installation for alpha0043 on OSX was successful (though I did need to open up OS 9 in order to install it). However, when I tried to start up the program, it instantly closed. I could see it pop up in my semi-transparent dock for a quick second before it disappeared.
 
Since the files stdout.txt and stderr.txt are not currently in my lib folder, I cannot give you any additional information rather than the fact that ...
 
I'm running OSX 10.15 on a G4 400 Laptop
 
Thanks alot,
 
Jeremy

i'm using the same setup as you and i've had no issues.
i didn't have to boot so os 9 though.
 
is it running ok right now, or was it a one time failure?

hmmm. also no problems here.
 
if classic launched to unstuff the file, might the app have started in classic mode by chance? hmmm... that would be strange. Maybe your java environment is borked somehow?
 
10.1.5, PB667, no problems.

The OSX download is encoded as a Classic .sea file. You can check by doing a "Show Info" on it. If you simply double click the file, it will launch the OS9 version of Stuffit Expander (and thus Classic).  If you open it with Expander/Magic Menu, etc., it will open fine in OSX.
 
Otherwise it works great on my Dual 800 w/10.1.5

Thanks for the advice, jes, I was able to start up Proce55ing successfully this time.
 
However, I did receive a Java error:
 
Error loading SolarisSerial: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no SolarisSerialParallel in java.library.path Caught java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: readREgistrySerial while loading driver com.sun.comm. ...
 
I just updated to Java 1.3.1 for OSX, as per the instructions in the readme.txt file.
 
Once again, OSX 10.1.5 G4 400 laptop.

oops.. i usually have classic running so i didn't notice that my rev of stuffit was making classic mode .sea files for the osx install.. i'd like to fix this for 0044, maybe i'll just switch to a disk image since that's the trendy osx way to do things and dropstuff 6.5.1 only makes classic mode executables.

regarding the UnsatisfiedLinkError business, are you trying to use serial and getting the error, or is it just general spew? in our haste, i neglected to include instructions on downloading rxtx (www.rxtx.org) which provides the serial support for osx. the rxtx download is a little messy, i'll see what can be done about simplifying the process.

re: Error loading SolarisSerial......
 
I get that error by default whenever the p5 launches (ie. without trying to initiate a serial connection).

yep, so that's just rxtx missing. if you want, you can download and install rxtx from http://www.rxtx.org, there's a macosx .pkg somewhere buried in the distribution that installs serial port support which will fix the issue, and also let you talk to serial devices, should you decide to do such a thing.
 
or you can wait till the next release, which will include the .pkg.. but there's no firm date on when that release will be available. my machine seems to have bit it and i'm doing some reformatting & reinstalling that had been delayed to get alpha out.

this is now fixed in rev 44, which is posted at the download page.  
 
the osx version is now distributed as a .dmg, which should avoid the problems. also, the rxtx installer is included for those who want to use serial and avoid the error message.
 
[the url for the download page is in the last email we sent about the alpha download (please don't post here.. we prefer that people register for the url)]
