Mac OSX 3.2 Won't load

Jenks · February 2, 2011, 14:54

Hi, wondered if anyone can help? I've downloaded 3.2 but every time I open it, it crashes. I'm on a Mac G5 PPC running OS X 10.5.8. Any ideas gratefully received.

First thought that comes to mind is maybe it's not a fat binary and therefore won't run on both PPC and Intel architectures.

Usually intel native programs have a 'no entry' sign on them when viewed in PPC. This one looks normal

Could you post or attach the crash report? You don't need to send it to Apple; just show the details and cut and paste from the crash window.

Alternately, run the Console application (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app), clear its output, try running the program, and then paste what shows up in the console.

I have a similar problem. Can't get 3.2 running on my mac. Thankfully I have other options, but still frustrating.

Crash report:

The application Angband (OS X) quit unexpectedly

Mas OS X and other applications are not affected

Click Relaunch to launch the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.

it also says
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _fopen$UNIX2003
Referenced from: Users/Angband.app/Contents/MacOS/angband
Expected in: /usr/libSystem.B.dylib

Hope this helps?

This will make everything clear.

Allegedly.

Ok. Now I get why it's not working but how do I fix this?

To quote from the website above "the solution is to rebuild the static library from the source"

How? I only really wanted to play a game, not learn how to become a programmer!!
