Re: Cannot start Elan 3.6.0 in Mac OS 10.5.5
Is this with the latest Java update installed? I haven't updated my MacBook Pro to 10.5.5 yet, so I can't check. I hear from a colleague that on a desktop Mac Pro with 10.5.5 and the latest Java update ELAN works.
If you can't get it running at all, you could try launching ELAN with the shell script that is installed in same folder: ElanMac_3-6-0.sh. In a Terminal window "cd" to the ELAN install folder and type ./ElanMac_3-6-0.sh
Maybe that works.

Re: Re: Cannot start Elan 3.6.0 in Mac OS 10.5.5
Han, Thanks for the suggestion of trying the command line script. It starts up fine that way (after an initial file not found error in the log directory---small bug). But I wonder why the .app crashes with error above?<br>
Re: Re: Re: Cannot start Elan 3.6.0 in Mac OS 10.5.5
I have updated my MacOS system to 10.5.5 and I don't experience the same problem.
When a crash occurs, I get the following output:
Process: ELAN 3.6.0 [240]
Path: /Programma/ELAN/ELAN 3.6.0/ELAN
3.6.0.app/Contents/MacOS/ELAN 3.6.0
Identifier: com.apple.javajdk15.ELAN 3.6.0
Version: ??? (8.0)
Code Type: X86 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [103]
There is a difference in the "Code Type" value: could it be that you have been running the 64-bit version of Java 1.5? Have you tried the 32-bit version? (For other readers: can be set through /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences)?
If it works with the 32-bit version, but prefer to use the 64-bit version, you could try the following:
Copy the file: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub64 to the ELAN .app folder. Right click ELAN.app and choose "Show Package Content", navigate to Contents/MacOS and paste the Stub file. Rename the "ELAN 3.6.0" file, and then rename "JavaApplicationStub64" to "ELAN 3.6.0". Launch ELAN. This might work, I haven't tried.
-Han
PS. do you know what file wasn't found with the first launch via the command line script? Was an error message shown?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Cannot start Elan 3.6.0 in Mac OS 10.5.5
Hi Han, good advice again!<br><br>One extra point, however:<br><br> You need to increase the initial heap size (value of first string under VMOptions key in ELAN 3.6.0/Contents/Info.plist), e .g., to "-Xms4M". <br><br> (When I first tried to run the 64 bit stub, I got the error message "Too small initial heap...", which you can see if you open the copied stub file directly with Terminal.app).<br><br>FYI, for JDK 1.6, only the 64 bit VM is provided by Apple, and I want this to be the general default.<br><br>If you are an ELAN developer (or one is listening), it might be a good idea to document the 32 vs 64 bit issue. Isn't there some way to make an app that works either way?<br><br>Thanks, -CR<br><br>P.S. As I remember, the missing file error was for the log file, /Users/rich/Library/Preferences/ELAN/elan0.log. I am guessing that if you take a look at the code, there is a bug whereby the first time it throws an error but creates the ELAN directory, then it works the second time. But maybe not...<br>
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Cannot start Elan 3.6.0 in Mac OS 10.5.5
Yes, I am one of the ELAN developers.
Increasing the initial heap size is probably a good idea anyway, will do so.
I'll see if I can locate the "missing file" bug; it is likely some kind of race condition, as you already suggest.
More on the 32 vs 64 bit issue in the follow up post.
