So I finally packaged QGIS 1.7.4 (I was waiting on a GRASS 6.4.2 problem, but that may take a while). And...
WARNING #1: serious Qt packaging bug Nokia screwed up compiling their "official" binaries. Everything BUT QtWebKit works on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). QtWebKit appears to use a OS X 10.7-only system function. This breaks QGIS help and some plugins on OS X 10.6. It's possible it's not really Nokia's fault. I'll have to compile Qt myself and package a new QGIS, but there is a bug in Apple's SDK mechanism that could be the problem. WARNING #2: delete existing plugins before running QGIS 1.7.4. If you can do it before installing QGIS, disable them in the old QGIS, then update and re-enable them one at a time after upgrading QGIS. If you have already installed 1.7.4, you need to manually delete them from ~/.qgis/python/plugins. I've had a report of plugins directly using a specific GDAL version like 1.8 (I don't know how this is possible), which will crash QGIS 1.7.4 which uses GDAL 1.9. There also appears to be a problem with PyQwt so the profile plugin will crash QGIS. Sorry for the breakage. I'll try to fix things as quickly as I can. ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ First Pogril: Why is life like sticking your head in a bucket filled with hyena offal?
