Open CPNon Mac, 10.10, Failure to launch

[BandT4452]

Good morning,

I have downloaded OpenCPN for Mac and apparently successfully installed. All pretty GUI messages say so, It's in my app folder. On opening I get a blank screen for up to 2-3 seconds, that screen/window closes and a failure to open message appears, the Apple error report shows up and dialog asking if I want to reopen in safe mode. I've tried that, same result.

Any input from the elders?

Not without additional information. Please attach the content of the "apple error report".

Just a guess, but this is an old Mac with a Core2Duo processor?


This problem has been reported via flyspray.

Here is the apple error log and yes it is a 2009, 2.66GHz Intel core 2 duo

h-a-berr was correct, the libraries used in current OpenCPN app bundle are unfortunately compiled for more modern processors than yours. No workaround except using a custom build is unfortunately available at the moment.

Nohal,


No problem, the R Pi is coming soon and I'll be getting that system together. I just wanted to explore the OpenCPN at home a bit.


This Mac was a good deal when I got it on craigslist years ago and it Zooms with my buddies just fine. As long as I can burn an SD correctly I'll be happy.
