Here's my most recent progress for Snow Leopard, using jgtk701.app: The previously suggested download of the system libraries:
<http://www.jsoftware.com/download/gtkmac32.zip> is missing: libgtksourceview-2.0.0.dylib libxml2.2.dylib Googling a bit for libgtksourceview found me this page on the J Wiki: <http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Beta/Gtk%20on%20Mac> which seems to have a pretty complete download of GTK for OSX Intel. Anyway, it had the two missing dylibs. The next problem was with ~adons/gui/gtk/gtk.ijs. Line 244-45: > case. 'Darwin' do. > if. 0-:2!:5'DISPLAY' do. My system defines display: > declare -x DISPLAY="/tmp/launch-yIeXm9/org.x:0" So the above if-clause tests FALSE and J tries to load the X11 GTK libraries, which aren't included in either of the above GTK distributions. If I fix this issue, and comment out both: > NB. libgtksourceview=: <libdir,'libgtksourceview-2.0.0.dylib' > NB. libxml=: <libdir,'libxml2.2.dylib' I get the following: > azonips:~$ /Users/cturner/Applications/j701/bin/jgtk.command ; exit; > |domain error: cddef > | libgtksourceview cddef each<;._2[0 :0 > |[-1320] /Users/cturner/Applications/j701/addons/gui/gtk/gtk.ijs If I comment out that line, I get further errors. If I add the two missing libraries and uncomment the above lines, I get: > /Users/cturner/Applications/j701/bin/jgtk.command ; exit; > azonips:~$ /Users/cturner/Applications/j701/bin/jgtk.command ; exit; > > GTK init failed: libraries not installed or not found. > > Find path to the gtk folder with Finder or shell command: > ...> find / -name libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib 2> /dev/null > > If not found, you need to install GTK. > > The GTK installation is assumed to be in the Libraries framework. > > /Library/Frameworks/Gtk.framework/Libraries > /Library/Frameworks/Glib.framework/Libraries > ... > > |domain error: gtkinit > | 13!:8[3 Which, taking me back to the beginning, seems like a less helpful error message.
