Re: XTrkCad and Mac Lion upgrade

I forgot that we have a Files section.

I uploaded the file libiconv.2.dylib to the Files area.

DANGER USE AT YOUR OWN RISK THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED

If you replace
/Applications/XTrackCAD.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libiconv.2.dylib with this
file (make a backup first!) it *MIGHT* fix the Lion boot problem.

I tried it on Snow Leopard and with a quick "Boot and build a loop of track and
load an existing XTC file" test it didn't crash. But NO WARRANTIES.

anyone is brave enough to give it a stab, reply to me and I can send you a file

I also don't have a Mac, but as I understand it, Mac users have to install an X11 Window server in order to run XTrkCad. Apparently older versions of OSX did...

I just tried your new library under Lion ( 10.7.1 ) and XTrackCAD now starts, loads existing files and saves new files for me. Thanks for the update. Chuck...

I tried this, but it didn't work, either. Instead of Xtrack aborting, it simply sat in some kind of endless loop doing nothing until I force-quitted it. --...
