Post Re: Problems installing OpenRPG on OS X 10.6
I don't know how to set an environment variale in Mac OS but judging by what they are saying one way to do it is to edit this file they mention called .bash_profile.

"That variable was being set in my .bash_profile"

or Google it:

Yeah, none of that is helpful because I don't understand what they're talking about. I'm just going to copy what "man python" has to say about changing to 32-bit mode:

Quote:
64-BIT SUPPORT
Versions 2.6 and 3.0 support 64-bit execution (which is on by default).
Version 2.5 only supports 32-bit execution.

Like the version of Python, the python command can select between 32 and
64-bit execution (when both are available). Use:

% defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes

to make 32-bit execution the user default (using
`/Library/Preferences/com.apple.versioner.python' will set the system-
wide default). The environment variable VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT
can also be used (has precedence over the preference file):

% export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes # Bourne-like shells
or
% setenv VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT yes # C-like shells

Again, the preference setting and environmental variable applies to both
python and pythonw.



I have tried entering all three of those commands and have gotten the following every time:

Quote:
>>> % defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes
File "<stdin>", line 1
% defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


I get the same error no matter what command I use. Like I said, I don't have a head for all of this programming stuff. If someone can figure out what I'm supposed to type I'll do it, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

It would help if you told us what command you are running.

I do apologize for the lack of Mac support. Python helps Traipse achieve platform universality, however there are few Mac users. I am surprised Paul has not chimed in with some advice.

The command I've been using is "% defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes" just like "man python" said.

I think you are doing it wrong is all. Try defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit 1

If that doesn't work you can add VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes .profile

I haven't said anything because I haven't been sure about what to do.

I've never run across this problem before so I'm learning at the same rate you are but believe me you can get it running.

I do know this, leave the % off of the command line.

That only denotes the beginning of the command line.

I think some systems use it but mac does not.

I...I think I've got it! Now I have the OpenRPG Udater window open, and it's updating. The program itself should launch after the update, correct? If not, I'll post again, but until then thanks Paul, prof.ebral and davidbyron. Sorry if I came off a bit short, but all of this stuff can be pretty daunting for someone who has never done it before.

EDIT: It's up and running. Thanks again for all the help, guys!

Thank you.

You did all the hard work figuring out what need to be done we just nudged you along the way.

The end result is we all learned something new and you've helped anyone in the future who may also have this problem.

So you just made your first contribution to the OpenRPG system. :D

Game on and enjoy.

We could do with a MAC-only issues thread stickied.

You said "latest" Version of Python and "man Python" clearly notes Version 3.0.

Both forks do not work with the most recent Versions, especially not with 3.0 or higher. Recomended Versions are listed here

Please run "system_check.py", locate the "openrpg_sysinfo.txt" it creates and post it's contents here.
