As the new version 1.6.x of PixInsight is being delayed, I have decided to publish a workaround to the incompatibility problems of version 1.6.0 with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
The workaround consists of two commands executed from the Terminal application. If you are a user of Mac OS X 10.5.x, follow these steps and you'll be able to run PixInsight 1.6.0 on your Mac:
- If you haven't done it already, install the Xcode Tools from your Mac OS X DVD. Alternatively, you can download Xcode from
developer.apple.com.
- Make sure that you have installed (that is, copied) the PixInsight application to your /Applications folder.
- Open the Terminal application. Normally it should be on your /Applications/Utilities folder.
- Type this command and press Enter (better copy and paste it to avoid errors):
install_name_tool -change /usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib /usr/lib/libssl.dylib /Applications/PixInsight.app/Contents/MacOS/PixInsight- Do the same with this command:
install_name_tool -change /usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib /Applications/PixInsight.app/Contents/MacOS/PixInsightThat's all. Now PixInsight 1.6.0 should run without problems on your Mac box with OS X 10.5.
If you try this workaround, let me know if you find any problems.
