Can't install 0.6.14 on OSX 10.6.8

[Flychi]

Hi

Can anyone help?

Trying to install 0.6.14 onto my imac running OSX 10.6.8. Get as far as dragging the app into the applications folder then clicking on the app in applications.

Activity monitor shows 99% usage by the app (!?!) but nothing happens. There is no yellow arrow on the top bar, and looking deeper there are no Sabnzbd files in Library->Application Support.

I've looked at the thread regarding installing on 10.7 and trying to start the app from the terminal with --console command just hangs with a blank cursor. Trying the same as su in terminal gives the following results;


sh-3.2# /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "threading.pyc", line 530, in __bootstrap_inner
File "/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/SABnzbd.py", line 1723, in run
File "/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/SABnzbd.py", line 1018, in main
File "/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/SABnzbd.py", line 698, in copy_old_files
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/root/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd'

Looks to me like the app isn't actually installing itself from the .dmg

Normally data is stored in /Users/username/Library/...
In your case the OS tells it to look for /var/root/...
Probably caused by running it with "su".

You could try the other DMG file, for Leopard, it will work on SnowLeopard too.

Many thanks!

Downloaded the 10.5 Binary and all working like a dream.
