First, thank you for porting GNU pspp software on Mac.
I met two problems with pspp version 0.8.1 I've just downloaded on your web site
The 2 problems happen on two of my Macs :
- An MacMini Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) ;
- A MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
I launched pspp with the admin account on which I installed pspp or with an non dmin account.
++++++++++++++++++++++
First problem (non blocking), I solved thanks to an advice displayed in Console App :
- All graphics resources (small icons of your software are not found)
Command to solve problem
su
/opt/pspp/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /opt/pspp/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
Message in console :
---------

28/12/13 15:27:15 [0x0-0x2b02b].org.gnu.software.pspp.PSPP[348] to make things work again for the time being.

Second problem (blocking) :
In psppire GUI, I can't open any .sav file : those just saved with pspp or those found in example directory
/opt/pspp/share/pspp/examples
No .sav file are displayed in pspp file chooser (See attached screenshot)
According to you, why aren't .sav files shown in pspp file Chooser.
I tried to launch pspp with dtruss utility
sudo dtruss -f sudo -u $USER /opt/pspp/bin/psppire
A message explains that pspp do a succesfull lstat64() on an existing .sav file,
success in openning the .sav, read it : read(0x12, "\0", 0x0) and close it.
Have you got an explanation or a solution for those problems ?
Best regards
