Title: Install Problem Post by: JJS on November 03, 2011, 10:42:57 PM Hi,
I can not get Mandelbulber 1.08 to run on my macbook pro osx 10.5.8. It says it installs but when I run terminal, this is what it says... Last login: Thu Nov 3 15:38:13 on ttys000 JJS:~ JJS$ /Users/JJS/Downloads/mandelbulber-mac-1.08/mandelbulber/i386/mandelbulber ; exit; dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib Referenced from: /Users/JJS/Downloads/mandelbulber-mac-1.08/mandelbulber/i386/mandelbulber Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap logout [Process completed] I have also tried running by clicking on the mandelbulber itself with no success... What the heck am I not doing or doing wrong??? Title: Re: Install Problem Post by: visual.bermarte on November 04, 2011, 05:54:44 PM now you can't fail! just follow me ;D
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mandelbulber/files/mandelbulber-mac-1.08.zip/download unzip somewhere, find 'install' file and open it with terminal ('Applications/utilities/terminal') "Do you want to install mandelbulber in 32 or 64 bit mode? [32/64]" is asked, type '32' or '64' and press <enter> your password is asked: type it and press <enter> You find your password HERE: From the Apple menu choose System Preferences. From the View menu choose Accounts. Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password. to open mandelbulber type 'mandelbulber' inside terminal and press <enter> if mandelbulber does not start download and install latest XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.6.3) now before you open mandelbulber just open XQuartz app (just click on 'Applications/utilities/Xquartz') Hope it is useful Title: Re: Install Problem Post by: JJS on November 04, 2011, 10:52:08 PM Thanks, I will try your way... The only difference I see is I didn't open the install file in terminal... Although it said it installed it must not have installed completely! I will let you know... I did install the newest version of X11, so that part is done...

They mean "NEED PASSWORD!"... I have never in 30+ years of computing ever put a password on my computers... Just don't believe in it... So I went and put a password on the Admin account for my Mac and presto everything installed correctly... Funny thing is, it installed great on my other 2 Windows machines without a password on the Admin accounts (1 a Win 7 64 bit and the other a Vista 32 bit machine)... Anyway problem solved, now to the learning... ;) |
