Many thanks Mars (and others), I found the instructions on how to
assemble the necessary structure for the support of Quantum GIS to
be somewhat daunting at first sight as I'm used to installing Mac
apps by simply opening up a .dmg file and either running an
installer or dragging the app from the mounted disk image.
Once I'd got my head around the concept that all the talk of
"frameworks" was about a set of support facilities that were
prerequisites that just had to be installed first, I felt more
confident and in fact it was quite straightforward.
I used to have an installer to install all the frameworks at once, but
it was hard to keep it synchronized with the individual installers.
Incidentally, the notes on http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:support:install
say:
"Frameworks and Base Packages can be installed in any order, but
before any ordered packages"
...but in fact you need to install the GEOS and PROJ frameworks
before you can install the SQLite3 one, even though they're shown in
the non-ordered section.
Ah, I've been neglecting that install guide page. SQLite used to work
on its own. Thanks for reminding me.
I do list the frameworks in install order on the framework download
page.
Now up and running, thanks for the help.
Regards
Simon
