sac problems with MacOSx 10.7
2012-01-25 01:01:18
Hi;
I'm running SAC on Mac OSX 10.7.2 and thought it installed correctly and
seems to work OK, it crashes a lot. It
crashes sometimes as in the example below after seemingly routine
commands, like read and plot. Sometimes it crashes for
a segmentation fault, without apparent motive, just when plot is invoked.



SAC> lp co .001 n 4 p 2
SAC> p
SAC> xlim 8000 20000
SAC> p
SAC> ls
159.18E 72.82S.txt TALDICE_18O_TALDICE1_8-25ka.txt

SAC> r taldice.sac
SAC> p
Assertion failed: (dpy->xcb->pending_requests_tail->next == NULL),
function append_pending_request, file xcb_io.c, line 129.

Other times it crashes due to an apparent segmentation fault.

If sac is launched again it fails right off the bat, so I have to
restart my computer in order for it to work for another, say half hour,
until it crashes again...

Does anyone have similar problems?

Thanks,

JRial

    Alas ... the developers do not have access to a Mac OS 10.7 computer so
    were not able to test it. We assumed -- perhaps erroneously -- that the
    changes from 10.6 would not affect SAC.

    I am assuming you using the binary. True? If so, could you try building
    from sources and let me know.

    Within a day or so v101.5b will be out, so I suggest you wait -- but
    request the source distribution.
