[Torcs-users] Problem installing TORCS on Mac OS X

[Ryan D. <rya...@as...>]

Hello,

I downloaded the 1.3.3 installation .dmg of TORCS on my machine, and installed everything correctly. However, nothing appeared when I tried to run TORCS (the app icon appears and immediately closes). What I tried to do was to look in Console, but nothing appeared that seemed evident of why the app does this, but nothing helped.

I then repaired permissions using Disk Utility, but nothing. Next, I tried to run the app itself directly in Terminal, and I get this:

utoadmins-mbp:Applications redoughe$ open torcs.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/torcs.app.

This seemed strange, so I tried to run the binary file inside Resources directly:

utoadmins-mbp:Applications redoughe$ ./torcs.app/Contents/Resources/torcs-bin 
-bash: ./torcs.app/Contents/Resources/torcs-bin: Bad CPU type in executable

So it seems there is a problem with the CPU - however, I am running a MacBook Pro Late 2011 which has an Intel chip:

Darwin utoadmins-mbp.mobile.asu.edu 14.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.5.0: Wed Jul 29 02:26:53 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2782.40.9~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

So I’m not sure how to progress further. Any help is appreciated!
