OSX GUI client, how to install?

[lbauer]

Mac users, note: The Mac Client for SOS 4.1.2 needs GTK 2.6, not 2.4 as in the earlier release.

Can you put a link to dowwnload the GTK client ?

We suggest getting GTK 2.6 as part of a Fink download. Use the "unstable" distribution.

Here are some relevant links:

Hello,

I'm running OS X 10.4.2, and have installed X11 and GTK 2.6. I launch SOS in X11, type in:

cd /Applications/SourceOffSite

and then: ./sos

but every single time I get this message:

dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libreadline.5.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/SourceOffSite/./sos
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

My guess (since I am not familiar with Unix commands) is that I am missing the libreadline.5.dylib file, which is supposed to reside in /sw/lib. I have run searches for the libreadline.5.dylib using Terminal -- is this file supposed to be part of the SOS 4.11 installer? Can you tell me where I can obtain this file??

Many thanks,

Michaela

Does SOS 4.1.2 requiquire 2.06 or 2.6?

Thanks,

I've updated that information.

SOS 4.1.2 requires GTK 2.6, which can be installed as part of a Fink download. Use the "unstable" distribution.

Here are some relevant links:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/

We are not sure what's causing the dependency reported in the libreadline error message, but we did find that Fink lists both a "readline" and a "readline5" package. We're not sure why they have both now, but one of our Mac users installed readline5 and SOS worked for him. You can get it from this link:

If the libraries aren't installed in the place SOS wants it, you can use set the environment variable DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to cause it to look somewhere else for the libraries, for example:

Code: Select all

export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib

Since I use DarwinPorts instead of fink, that will allow it to find the libraries.
