Following on upgrade advice received here, i downloaded version 1.7.0 (tho i still don't know why "check QGIS version" command from Help menu told me i was up-to-date with 1.6.0) for Mac OS X and threw it into my apps folder, thereby replacing the old app.
I goofed! -obviously, by not reading the "ReadMe" file (which i did consider for a moment doing, but i was in a rush and figured it would be trivial, so...), also by not installing a test instance, while preserving my 1.6.0 install (for this, on top of previous mistake, there is no excuse!). Result: QGIS will not launch -apparently (based on exception report below) because i don't have the GDAL library it wants installed (tho i thought, since i was running 1.6.0, i must have GDAL installed, along with GRASS, right?)... But also, i am guessing i may have a problem running 64-bit native code on this machine, which i believe is running in 32-bit mode, tho i don't know how i can confirm this. Now: before i go installing GDAL, i was just wondering, if anyone can tell me: - is that all i will need to install? is my machine even compatible? can i switch to 64-bit mode somehow? might that cause other apps i have to fail? - what if i just want to roll-back to 1.6.0 (which, on reflection, was making me perfectly happy!), do any of the steps associated with upgrade break compatibility with the 1.6.0 code? /w > Process: QGIS [14565] > Path: /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/QGIS > Identifier: org.qgis.qgis > Version: ???
