Re: [be] Installing Bibledit on Mac OS X

[Simon Lindén]

OS X seems to come with gdb as well so the same procedure worked. I can open bibledit in debug mode and when I do that I don't get the error I got before, but the application freezes as soon as the GUI shows up. The terminal shows a whole lot of errors such as the one below, referring to different paths:

warning: Could not find object file "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_mports_ports_x11_mesa/mesa/work/Mesa-8.0.4/src/glx/apple/../../../src/mapi/glapi/libglpi.a(u_thread.o)" - no debug information available for "u_thread.c".

This is the backtrace I retrieved:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x0000000000000001

0x000000010097b9ac in gtk_window_resize ()

#7  0x0000000100852f3f in gtk_main ()

#8  0x00000001000016d0 in main ()

Is this information of any help?

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.
