Phil, what was it?

[Phil Guiet (pguiet)]

I initially logged this as a bug, but then decided it probably really should be handled as question to the community. No one else seems to have this problem. I was under the impression I had successfully made the change from bug to question. Sorry for the confusion. Hope there is an answer out there.

I have the same prob, so I would say it is a bug

This has been reported previously, and then other people running 10.7 said it wasn't a problem anymore. Is there anything special on your machine, easyw?

Hi Adam,
unfortunately not.
It is a MacMini Intel 5.2 - core i7 - 4GB RAM
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256M RAM
64bit kernel
Installed XCode 4.3.3
I used to be a developer ... and I used to build kicad 4022 and closer releases...

I don't know if this could help in finding the prob...

I searched for a solution for the missing lib without succeeding...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/CoreGraphics

thanx

[m (easyw)]

it could be something related to the installed SDK

I have
Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/
Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/

Hi again,
I sym linked the lib to the right place:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/CoreGraphics /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/CoreGraphics

but then I got this error:
dlopen(/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/PlugIns/_pcbnew.kiface, 10): Symbol not found: ___sincos_stret
  Referenced from: /Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Applications/pcbnew.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libcairo.2.dylib
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

I found some tips that could help here:

and here some other people having the same issue in OSX 10.8

This should be fixed in the latest nightly and tonight's new RC2-2 build for OS X. It has been confirmed fixed by two users here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1516664
