Avogadro >0.9.5 Not Launching Intel Mac 10.4.11

Hello,

I’m trying to get Avogadro 1.0.0 running on my Intel Mac (10.4.11). The
prebuilt .app does nothing when launched. This is also the case with
Avogadro 0.9.9. Avogadro 0.9.5 does launch. I have various versions of
python installed on my system (default running 2.5.4). Is this an issue?

The only other mention of this I could find online anywhere is the first
comment in the following:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/34432&vid=11115234&mode=info

I am in the middle of trying to compile the source, but it’s slow moving to
get all the dependencies in order.

Please let me know if this is a common problem with the mac binaries. Also,
let me know if there is more information I can supply you with (or even if
this is the correct list).

Cheers,

-Matt Kayala

This is a known problem with the Mac binaries.

It should be fixed with the current nightly builds (which will be 1.0.1 once I track down an optimization bug):
