Mac OSX installation trouble

[KWhitesonLab]

Hi,
I am a new potential user of Pathomx but I was not able to install it on my mac. I'm running OSX 10.7.5 - I realize that might be the problem right there, updating to 10.9 could solve the problem. Nevertheless, FYI, when I click on the dmg, drag the unpacked Pathomx to my Applications folder and try to open it, this immediately appears in the crash report (see below).

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi Katrine, thanks for your bug report, much appreciated. I've had a similar report from someone running 10.6.8 and would like to fix this without forcing upgrades.

From reading up on it I think I need to build a separate version for each major release of MacOS X. Unfortunately I don't have access to anything but Mountain Lion at the moment, but I'm looking to see if there is a way to build backwards-compatible releases on it.

Will update this once I figure something out!

1 like to commend you on the work u have done mfitzp :) Brilliant
2 We have tried both running the latest one 2.5 on 10.8.5 and building it from scratch (using homebrew recipie) but start up stalls for us too in both cases.
which indeed makes us wonder if thereare other tweaks or dependencies for mac os x ?

Do u use 10,9 or 10.8 for compiling make?

[mfitzp]

Thanks @NiGem! Unfortunately yes I'm building on 10.9. Thanks for trying to build from scratch using homebrew. Have you attempted to run Pathomx from the command line with:

python Pathomx.py

If you can try that and let me know any output you get. It may be that I need to tweak the install instructions a bit, but it should be possible to get it to run (and then build) on 10.8 - there is nothing 10.9 specific about the code.

Hi guys,
I have gotten the same errors trying to install on 10.9 actually. The command line is a good idea.

;)

I believe it is an issue on PyQt5 and Python 3

By default do you only use the Celler folder of homebrew ?

[NiGem]

perhaps this may be doing it ?

This formula is keg-only, so it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

Qt 5 conflicts Qt 4 (which is currently much more widely used).

Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:

LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/qt5/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/qt5/include

Ah! On Mac I have only successfully run Pathomx using Python2.7. It should (technically) run with Python3.4+ too - as it does on Linux - but it is untested.

It looks from the error output that it's simply not finding PyQt5. Is PyQt5 installed? Note that you also need to install PyQt5 as well as Qt5!

If it is, is it installed under Python3 or Python2.7? Are you running Pathomx.py with python or python3? It shouldn't matter which but you must run it from the version with PyQt5 installed.

You can give this a test by starting a python shell with either python or python3 then trying to do import PyQt5 and from PyQt5 import QtGui If Qt5 isn't linked you could try brew link qt5.

Unsure about the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS but I don't have them set on my system.

Wow, thank you for looking into this! I am out of town, back at work Tuesday, ill let you know how it goes...

It works :)

@Katreenuh Can you confirm whether you ever managed to get it working on 10.7?

[KWhitesonLab]

I haven't tried recently, I will and I'll let you know.

Thanks!
