Re: [be] Installing Bibledit on Mac OS X

I'm sorry I won't be much help here.   I don't install open source software manually anymore.  Im not sure there is a way to know you've really removed manually installed software. So reinstalling the OS is the only way to return to a known pristine condition if the open source stuff isnt sandboxed off.  But it is another variable I guess so it all depends on your point of view as to which method is better. 

But i don't think people realize that modifying a macports port for a custom install or test isn't any more difficult than a manual install.  If an editor variable is defined all it takes is 'sudo port ed bibledit' and you change the version number and checksums, and the install the normal way. The next selfupdate wipes out local portfile changes so it is easy to revert. So testing software versions is very manageable on a onsey-twosy basis anyway. It takes less skill to do this than a manual install IMHO 

But it doesn't help here unfortunately.  i forgot to mention that I'm still on 10.7 Lion so at least it isn't a 10.8 issue but probably that was already known.

Wish I had access to OS X in order to try a few things, like:
* After installing bibledit-gtk from source, then installing it through
macports, then running the bibledit-gtk version installed by macports,
would it still crash?
* It the macports version would run without crash, then removing the
version installed manually, would the crash be back again?
