neuron crash on MacOS X

costas · Post by **costas** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 4:20 pm

Dear All

I (still) have Mac OS 10.5 on my MacBook and use NEURON 6.0 for my neuronal modelling. An hour ago, while I was debugging my code, nrngui quit and since then I have not been able start nrngui.

The error message I receive when double-clicking the icon is "The application nrngui quit unexpectedly". I restarted the computer and stuff but nothing has worked so far. (I have to say though that when I tried to restart the computer it took so long to shut down that I had to take the power source off.)

Has anybody had such a case before? I actually also downloaded NEURON's newest version (6.1) but nothing works...

Thanks, Costas

Related to my previous post, the error report I receive for Mac OS is the following:

drag the installed NEURON to the trash.
Is you computer then working properly?
If so, install
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/v ... 10.5.1.dmg
Does that nrngui and neurondemo work?
If so, make sure you have also upgraded your developer tools to the ones on the leopard (10.5) dvd and see if you can
utilize your mod files.
