Okay I've followed the guide on the wiki to the tee! I'm having errors everywhere. I just need a direct from A - B guide I think. Like every button press guide.

I've just bought this MacBook to work away from home and I'm new to Mac. I bought another sub to GS as its been a while. I've got a basic understanding of terminal now thanks to the guide. Thanks!

So.. I want to just play GS with Lich but be able to use narost etc. GTK2 is an issue here also.

So after I've run the guide and try to play I'll show you what happens..


I run ruby. ' lich/lich.rbw ' and get:

Daves-MacBook-Pro:~ davejackson$ ruby lich/lich.rbw
2019-04-23 19:14:13.506 ruby[50506:131471] * WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSView is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.

then the log in lich screen comes up and I log in to play, it downloads wizard, WINE comes up and it installs everything then boom error messages, no actual front end comes up.
I downloaded Avalon too btw.

The error messages say wine failed or something. its an enormous message. I can't even capture it all to post it.

SO I try another way:

sudo ruby lich/lich.rbw --gemstone --avalon

and I get this -

9 : <CFString 0x7fff8dddabb8 [0x7fff8dd718f0]>{contents = "KeyboardLayout Name"} = British
}


And in case you were wondering if I start up Avalon it simply doesn't work at ALL! nothing.

I'm completely at my wits end with it all. I've tried everything I've found on all the forums and just think I need to somehow clear it all out and start again but using your steps in person or something.

if you can help, ill be here very often as I have some time off work the next few days :)

Very gratefully yours! (please help!)

Dave

oh and the install looked fine :|

YOU MUST EXIT THIS WINDOW AND START A FRESH TERMINAL SESSION


Daves-MacBook-Pro:~ davejackson$

I closed terminal but didn’t restart the Mac itself.
I’ve even started to download virtual box and windows 10 iso. That’s how bad it is haha.
I’ll try restarting the machine. As you can see I’m hopeless at macs. I was hoping you’d be the one to answer. I hear you’re the guy to ask.

okay restarted cpu and ran terminal and got ..

9 : <CFString 0x7fff98386bb8 [0x7fff9831d8f0]>{contents = "KeyboardLayout Name"} = British
}



Then the window just stays there. I can't enter further terminal prompts as a curser up equals weird text instead of the previous prompt.

if I run the Lich prompt then either wizard or storefront do not work. They just do nothing.

And that would be "a different file". My phone only thinks it is smarter than me!

Not sure where to find you

Very kind words. Thank you. But I still think you're not giving enough credit to your exceptional patience! Thank you for working through it with me!

Doug

Doug is fantastic and should be paid a billion dollars a month for all the work he puts into getting people connected to GemStone.
