Re: [Visualpython-users] Fink package works perfectly

[Hans F. <H.F...@so...>]

Hi,

encouraged by the success, I have tried running vpython on Mac OS X, 
too.

I have installed visual-py24 as suggested (activating 'unstable' in 
fink etc).

Having started Apple's X server, I get a Bus error reported when I try to 
open a window:

Vigor10:/usr fangohr$ python2.4
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Aug 31 2005, 19:34:51)
[GCC 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import visual
>>> a=visual.sphere()
Bus error


I get the same error when running visual-py23:

Vigor10:/usr fangohr$ python2.3
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Sep  1 2005, 03:43:21)
[GCC 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import visual
>>> a=visual.sphere()
Bus error
Vigor10:/usr fangohr$


I was wandering whether this relates to problems with X, but matplotlib 
for example works just fine.

Any suggestions as to what the source of this might be, or how I can track 
this down are most welcome.

Many thanks,

Hans

P.S. This is on Powerbook, running Mac OS 10.4.2
