Hello Solar folks,

I attempted to install solar for my intel mac (OS 10.9.2) but I think that installation has failed (it is actually unclear). I was just trying to use of the supplemental features of solar at the moment (ped2csv) but haven't had any luck.  

Attached are my terminal output during installation (which seemed off to me). Also is attached a screengrab of my attempting to run one command from the solar suite. I can create a virtual machine (and work on SciLinux) if that is easier; I just thought I would stay with the mac os x version initially. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks much!
jamie.

Hmm, I thought that was a standard library.
Jammie, can you contact me directly at pkochunov@gmail.com

I installed solar, got the same library error. Searching for that file in finder, yielded no results. Thoughts?

Jammie,
I think I know what you problem is,
But first, why don't you remove all the installations again and now install it using this command

./install_solar /Users/jamielarshanson/solar/7.4.3 /Users/jamielarshanson/bin solar

if you still get dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib  error

Can you search for this file by typing this name in the finder ibstdc++.6

That is perplexing. Has this directory been created?
May I suggest that you remove all these directories and start with the latest beta version?
I have tried it on two of my macs and it went flawless.

I deleted everything and then redownloaded the new beta version. I then tried to ./install_solar 'pwd' 'pwd' (and that error is after these steps). Are there other files I need to remove or other things I need to do?

Hmmm, I keep running into the same issue... when I just try to run ./solar, I get "The directory /Users/jamielarshanson/Desktop/solar_mac_intel_beta/bin for solar binaries is not accessible" as an error; terminal output attached. Other thoughts/things I could do to troubleshoot?

Hi Jamie,
Try the latest version we posted. It resolves the lib path. I have just tested it on my mac and it worked great!
Let me know
peter

here is everything from installation on...

Hi Jammie,
Can you simply copy the error you get to the body of the email?
It seems to me like you have a simply library path error e.g. the solar doesn't know where some of the dynamic libraries are. This was supposed to be handled during installation. I am trying to replicate this problem on my end.
pk

Simple/silly question: what file should I otool? I tried both solar and install_solar and got errors (but think that was likely correct).

Hi Jammie,
For some reason the library path was not properly set or updated
Can you check if this helps?

I tried again with that updated mac version, but still got some errors.
Terminal output as txt file attached.

Hi Jamie,
Let us compile a mac version for you. It should be done quickly.
