MAC Version of RSW Client

[DickDonald]

I've been using the Mac version of the RSW client for years without problems, but it stopped working when I upgraded to Lion. Is a fix in the works?

[drwr]

It did? Hum, first I've heard of it. I guess I have to upgrade to Lion too and see if I can tell what's going on.

I haven't heard of any progress, but perhaps I can give a clue. I get an error message saying "no module wx." What is wx and is it available somewhere?

[drwr]

My apologies for the lack of progress. I've been a bit distracted lately, but I'll try again to get into solving this problem.

"wx" is wxPython, which is available from http://www.wxpython.org/ . It shouldn't be necessary to download it yourself, though--but I see now that the comment on that site is that it is available for 32-bit Python only, so maybe the problem is related to that detail? It certainly bears investigation.

Hey,

Has there been any progress on this?

I have been trying to install the Mac version of the client but it just ain't happening.

I have installed Python as suggested but still get errors - any update?

Cheers,

Huh, it had been working. I guess it's gone out-of-date again. Which OS are you running?

[drwr]

Ah, no, I see it is *still* demanding a dependency on wx. My apologies! I'll try to get this sorted soon.

[drwr]

Bah. What a pain in the butt it is to install wxPython on a recent Mac OS. I'm considering just dropping Mac support. Are you able to run it in Parallels?

[Nestalawe]

Heya,

Haha yeah we got it working somehow!

Cheers,

Ah, good news! Well, I'll keep the Mac version online then, as it is, even though it's such a nuisance to install.

[drwr]

If anyone is coming late to this thread, the Mac client is once again working well and does not require Parallels or wxPython or anything else.
