my questions  are:
1. is there a patch to fix this one command line or am i doomed to open the terminal every time as i have to do right now?
2. why isnt it locatin any servers list or any of the files it should locate? is there a patch for that as well?

by the way this is the string of the terminal at start up:
BENs-MAC:~ Ben$ /Applications/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/amule
Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.

AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT THIS IS THE CRASH REPORT FROM THE TERMINAL:

This seems to indicate that you're running the PowerPC version of aMule under Rosetta.  This is known to be unstable.

Please make sure you have downloaded the Universal Binary version of aMule (for Tiger).

Also, don't worry about the messages in aMule's log about missing files.  These files are missing because aMule hasn't gotten around to creating them yet.  However, in order to use aMule, you will want to download a server.met file.  Click the blue triangle button next to the URL on the ED2K network screen to download a server.met file.

[benjamink]

first of all thank you for your help ken
could you tell me please if this is the right file to download since this is what i did download:http://
http://www.amule.org/files/details.php?file=161
and if so what will you need in order to locate the problem
thank you again for your help
ben

[ken]

In the Finder, do a Get Info on the aMule application.  It should say "Kind: Application (Universal)".  Also make sure the checkbox "Open using Rosetta" is not checked.

[benjamink]

ken again thank you for your help
both of the fetures are ok it is univerasl and rosseta is not checked.
what now?

[benjamink]

hello everyone
this is my second attempt to try and solve this issue and i would love to listen to anyone who has a soultion for this problem

first allow me to describe what have i done so far:
i am running an intel based mac with 10.4.7 (tiger), i have downloaded the 2.1.3 universal version of amule

it did not run (crashed at startup), so i used this froum to find the solution:
i used the "Contents/MacOS/amule" fix on the terminal and it styarted the software up but the software didnt want to find any list of servers and continued to cry out that:

now what should i do as tryied to do the same with the 2.1.2 version and got yhe same problem....is it my mac?, should i reinstall its OS? HELP.....good people of this forum please HELP.

[wardevil]

Try do add a server try this and connect to:
62.241.53.16:4242

In a matter of seconds you will have your server list full of servers...

Cheers...

EDIT:I guess i missread the thread since i understod amule didnt crash but it did....so the problem must be other than that! Sorry...

[benjamink]

i got a server list but then it crashed again, what now?

this is the log form the terminal

Current version is: aMule 2.1.3 using wxMac v2.7.0 (Unicoded)
Running on: MacOS (Darwin 8.5.0 Power Macintosh)


anyone?

[lionel77]

First, I merged the new thread (the above 3 posts) that you had created with this one because both threads seem to be dealing with the same problem and spreading things over multiple threads usually just creates redundancy and confusion.

Speaking of confusion, I'm a little confused about when aMule crashes and when not. You seem to be saying that aMule runs fine when started through the Terminal but not when started through the Finder. Is that correct?


EDIT:
Looks like you have out-posted me.

What this is saying that you are still running aMule through Rosetta emulation (if you have an Intel Mac) or that your Mac is actually not an Intel Mac.

[benjamink]

thank you lional77

so how can i get rid of the rosseta emulation (as i do believe this is truely an intel based mac). i did check that in the info menue the rosseta box is checked out. and so i am lost for a solution, is that link to the cvs version the solution you are offering or am i making another mistake?

i would also like to add that i find your help to be very proffesional and i thank you for it. hoping to get your reply soon

[lionel77]

I'm very puzzled -- it should really not be rocket science to run aMule natively on your machine...

I'll try to get my hands on an Intel Mac soon to get an impression of how things work there.

[benjamink]

good people of this forum, i own a mac book pro intel based 2.16ghz with 2MB of memory, and the latest version 2.1.3 of amule does not run on my mac. if any of you own a mac book or a mac book pro and are successful in running the application please write to me so i will know i am the only one with this problem and i will stop and look for another sharing flies software. thank you very much.

i have exactly the same problem, i've got an Intel-based iMac 10.4.8 Tiger, and amule 2.1.3 won't launch at all after unpacking. the program quits unexpectedly 2 seconds after being opened. it doesn't even create 'amule' folder in the Library. same thing with amule 2.1.2. same thing with CVS - it quits even faster ?( here's the terminal thingy for 2.1.3:

and i'm a total dummy in comps and especially in macs, i don't know what i shold do ;( i've read most suitable topics on this forum but still can't find the solution. please help?  :baby:

[lionel77]

This is so puzzling. Metlob, your backtrace also indicates that aMule runs through the Rosetta emulation on your machine, which it shouldn't.

Just to double check, did you follow ken's advice?

In the Finder, do a Get Info on the aMule application. It should say "Kind: Application (Universal)". Also make sure the checkbox "Open using Rosetta" is not checked.

If that does not fix your problem I can only hope ken stumbles over this thread again soon.

[metlob]

yes i forgot to mention that the rosetta box is not checked and the application is universal. i'm really puzzled. the only solution is to get another OS?
