I cannot get klayout 0.24.X to start on OS X

Hello,

I get this error message:

/Applications/klayout.app/Contents/MacOS/klayout ; exit;
<internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)
from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>

ImportError: No module named site
logout
Saving session...

...saving history...truncating history files...

[Process completed]

It did not work with 10.10 and does not work on 10.11

Is there a simple fix?

Thank you

    Hi,

    I could reproduce the problem you faced by changing my development environment.

    Please note that I've tested the combination of:

    * OSX = 10.10.5 Yosemite
  and
* KLayout = 0.24.2

    It looks some Ruby-related files and Python-related files are missing in the binary package.

    Sorry for inconvenience caused.

    I think I need some more time to fix this.

    If you can install Mac Ports, getting the two ports below under "/opt/local" may fix the problem.

    1) ruby19
   and
2) python27

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Thank you for the feedback and for your work! No problem, I can still use klayout 0.23.
    I'll wait for the fix, I can not install mac ports as it is my work laptop.

    Best regrads

    Hi,

    The first binary package I published was "klayout-0.23.9-MacOSX-Yosemite.dmg.bz2".

    Now that I've known this issue, I think all binary packages I published earlier

    for MacOSX 10.10.x inherently have the same problem.

    A user responded that a binary package worked fine.

    I believe that he had Mac Ports installed for building from the source.

    I'll study what to do (may take time).

    *** Suggestions from Mac users will be highly appreciated. ***

    Anyway, thank you for pointing out this issue.

    Hi,

    For your information, I have klayout 0.23.11 on OS X 10.11 and it runs without any problem.

    Best

    Hi,

    I've created another binary package of KLayout-0.24.2 for MacOSX 10.10.

    then asked my colleague who owns a Mac with the latest OS "El Captian (10.11)"

    to see whether he can start the "klayout.app" on his Mac.

    Please note that his Mac has neither Mac Ports nor Homebrew installed but

    Xcode is installed.

    Under these conditions, according to him, it started normally.

    So please try the one uploaded to Dropbox (URL is at the bottom).

    If OK, I'll ask Matthias to replace the existing binary package with the new one.

    Regards,

    Kazzz

    Hi all,

    I have uploaded the new package to the server. It replaces the first one.

    Thanks to kazzz for providing this package and thanks to all for this great community effort!
