New to Processing on OS X
Jan 30th, 2006, 8:23pm  
Hello,

I found Processing through a link from ChucK, and was hoping that I might test it out running Mac OS X 10.3.9

I downloaded three versions, 0103, 0101, and 0099. When I double click on the application icon, the program starts up, but quits giving an error message that the JavaApplicationStub caused an error.

Do I need something else to run these? Is there another way of starting this up? What version of the OS do I need (10.4?)? What version of Java is required?

Thanks,

Mike

have you installed a pre-release or development version of java on your machine?

i develop processing primarily on an osx 10.3 and osx 10.4 machine so it should work pretty well..

Hi fry,

Thanks for your reply. I am not really sure which version of the Java stuff I need, so I am posting what gets printed out when I run...


> java -version
java version "1.4.2_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-233)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-56, mixed mode)
>

Is this sufficient? Do I need something "better"?

Thanks.

Mike

I checked out the requirements for Processing to make sure that I have everything needed, and it still crashes on my Desktop Computer (a G4). BUT, on my lap top, Processing starts up and presents the main window.

Now that I have this running, when I try to run any of the examples, I get an error message that appears to be a parsing error, as some of the classes listed are from 'antlr'. I can't give you a stack trace right at the moment, as I don't have access to my laptop. If this would help, I can make a dump of it tonight and send it tomorrow.

Thanks,

Mike

we'd need a dump to figure out what's going on. kinda sounds like you have a different version of antlr.jar somewhere on your system, and that's causing trouble.

for the g4, check the console to see what kind of errors you're getting.

Thanks, I can't give you a dump right this moment, but if you know what version of Antlr I should have, I know that I do have it installed from a project that I was working on 2 years ago. Is it just the latest version?

Thanks,

Mike

you should remove any other versions of antlr.jar from your extensions directory, as it is probably conflicting.
