Hello,

 

this is my first mailing to this list. Sorry for my bad English, I am located 
in Austria.

I try to setup Open Studio with the radiance functionality on my Macbook. After 
a series of trials with no success I start a new attempt and try to follow the 
available instructions as close as possible.

 

I just did a fresh installation of OSX 10.8 on a separate partition.

 

1. question: This is a German OSX version, could that lead to any problems?

 

2. question: OSX 10.8 comes with Ruby 1.8.7. The 
"Radiance_Installation_Instructions_0_9_0.pdf" says "Install RUBY 1.8.6" so ist 
1.8.6 required?

If yes, are there any hints how to downgrade to Ruby 1.8.6?

 

3. question: The installation sequence according to 
"Radiance_Installation_Instructions_0_9_0.pdf" seems to be reverse to the 
sequence described in the "Installation Instructions" on the Open Studio 
Webpage. The notes for OS X on that webpage also tell that Ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.7 
is supported, which comes back to question number 2.

 

4. question: "Radiance_Installation_Instructions_0_9_0.pdf" tells to do a 
separate Perl installation (ActivePerl is recommended). Is this true also for 
OSX?

 

 

Many thanks for any help on my way.

 

Best regards

Martin Klingler
