Synfire wont start

Posted Mon, 2013-07-08 - 03:40

Message on startup: Unhandled exception: Operation not permitted (Library/Application/Support/Synfire Pro/launch.sh"/)

A crash report saved....

Options then are Quit or Continue - continue does nothing

The Synfire Pro window last message is "Starting Audio Engine"

There is no folder I can see that is Library/Application/Support/Synfire Pro/ - though there is a Cognitone folder

Mac OSX 10.8.4

Then is from an older version, then updated and then reinstalled from the latest down load as well.

Try "Repair Permissions" with Disk Utility. This seems like a folder permissions issue.

The folder /Library is hidden since 10.7. You can visit it from the main menu using the "Goto" item: Enter the name including the leading slash.

I have run the permission check.

I have run the individual programs including the .sh in the cognitone folder and checked the permissions of both synfie and cognitne ensuring that I has R/W permissions.

The program stlll will not start.

I remember I had this some time ago and a repair permissions and reinstall fixed it. Also try and delete the launch.sh, if possible. Its permissions may be broken. It is created on demand and should be deleted after use. That is, it should actually not be there.
