Hi everyone,

I recently had a bit of a computer problem at work, and I had to
switch to a little laptop we have in the office.

I'd love to have MacCsound around to noodle with, but I can't seem to
get it running. I had it working perfectly on my older machine, a ppc
G5 tower running 10.4.11.
Now I'm on an Intel MacBook Pro with 10.4.11, and I thought I followed
the directions properly, i downloaded the csound5.10 ppc version from
sourceforge and install the CsoundLib.pkg and the SupportLibs.pkg.
Nothing complained during installation, and the program launches ok,
but it closes itself immediately as soon as I hit the "perform in
real-time" or "render to file".

Sorry if this same question has been asked and answered already, but
I've been sifting through the old emails from the mailing list all
morning and not found anything yet.

thanks,

Aidan

MacCsound does not work with the latest version of Csound; you need
to install 5.09 or 5.08.

Hi,

Sorry for the plug... You can also try QuteCsound which should open
your MacCsound csds. If it doesn't let me know. QuteCsound can work
with both Intel and PPC Csound (but actually currently requires Csound
5.10 for OS X).

Cheers,
Andrés

I also recommend just using QuteCsound as a replacement for MacCsound.

If you really have to use MacCsound, I would recommend the 5.08 PPC package
as it should "just work".

While it is also possible to get the 5.10 PPC installation working with
MacCsound too, this is only because 5.10 on Mac OS X includes a complete
copy of 5.08 as well!  However, you have to hack the installed files a
little bit to get it working due to a bug in MacCsound.  The question of how
to do this has been answered a few different ways now in various places, so
I will only point you to some of the answers:

ml

So depending on your needs, you will have to make a choice between one of
these options.

Thanks for all the advice,

I've only ever used MacCsound, so I'll probably try to get that to
work. However, it is probably time that I branch out a little and I'll
see what I can do with QuteCsound.

thanks again!!
