Re: [be] Installing Bibledit on Mac OS X

[Simon Lindén]

A little update to this issue. Teus helped me by installing Bibledit from source on my portable computer. Then it didn't crash at start but we have a strange behavior which shuts down Bibledit after about 10 minutes of use with the message:

Trace/BPT trap: 5

Since this was an improvement I followed the instructions to reinstall Bibleddit from source on my stationary computer – and there it seems to run without problems!!! I installed version 4.6 on the iMac and I believe Teus installed version 4.6.3 on the macbook – maybe that's the reason it acts differently but I suppose it's more likely that it's something else with the computers being different.

This is not a big issue for me since I'll be using Bibledit on my stationary computer, but I just wanted to tell  you in case somebody dives in to this. 

Regardless, thank you for your help!

Thanks, Teus. I will look into this when I have a chance.

Hi,

The doc site was updated with your suggestion - thanks for that.

I am not sure how to provide a stack dump on OS X. 

On Linux, here's how to get one: https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/community/development. It's called a 'core file' there.

Hopefully it works the same on Mackintosh...

Thank you all for your replies!

I managed to get it installed after doing a selfupdate the way Mark suggested. 

A little note that maybe should go to the manual: Currently it says to type "sudo port -v selfupdate" when updating macports. I did try that before but it said that MacPorts base is already the latest version and nothing changed. When I just typed "sudo port selfupdate" it seemed to change something though and macports installed it for me.

Regretfully I get the same error as Daniel when running bibledit. It closes immedeately and the terminal says "Segmentation fault: 11".

I'd provide a stack-dump if I knew how to retreive one.

Wish bibledit would behave a bit better.
Is there also a stack dump?
It could give some ideas as to what causes it.

This thread inspired me to try to get Bibledit going on my Mac instead of running it in a virtual machine.

Using Macports I successfully installed bibledit. But when I run:

bash-3.2$ bibledit-gtk

Bibledit appears to be opening, asks whether I want to allow incoming network connections, and then crashes with "Segmentation fault: 11."

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Mark,

Since it works for you on version 10.7, the page at https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/gtk/installation/macintosh/version-4-1-on-mac-os-x-10-6 was updated to include version OS X 10.7 also.

Can the section "Install Web server and database" go out perhaps with the version of bibledit-gtk currently in the port?

Teus.
