I tested this on windows and linux without issue so it appears to be specific to macos. Would one of our macos devs please confirm?

@Christian- Did you run this from the disk image?

This line says that the application was not copied to the Applications folder:

Hi

No, it is in the application folder but one level down i.e. /Applications/Cad/KiCad

I tried to move it up again to the application folder but it gives the same result.

I have tried to reset the paths to default in launchctl also, but it did not make any change.

I will also try to start from another user account to see if there is something that
are in my .bashrc etc. that could upset your installation

Hi

Regarding translocated, this must be the gatekeeper security that does that

see for example

@Christian-

Sounds like yet another issue with Mac Translocation tracking. Unfortunately, apart from digging around in system internals, the best way to fix this is to delete your existing KiCad folder, delete the .dmg and empty trash.

Then, re-download the application and use the on-disk method to drag the KiCad folder into the /Applications folder (don't use a different window). Next, open the KiCad application (not eeschema or pcbnew). Then launch eeschema from inside KiCad.

This _should_ clear the flag and make the image read/write which will resolve your crash. Let us know if this procedure doesn't work.

Hi again

I will try that when I get home and have a proper internet connection (i.e. not mobile 4G) to download again.

However I have:

1. removed kicad from my system by using the program "app cleaner" (dragged the main kicad app to it)

2. cleaned the attributes of the dmg file:
     xattr -c kicad-unified-5.1.0-10_14.dmg

    to get rid of the com.apple.quarantine attribute (well i.e. all of them)

3. opened the dmg and reinstalled as instructed

     which resulted in a new crash, spice2poly.cm?
     hmm… a closer look shows it references/finds another ngspice installation
     in my /Application folder. The official one.

4. removed the other ngspice installation in the /Application folder and
    it works..

 5. I have also reinstall ngspice in my /usr/local/bin which I run from python, mathematica etc. and it does not interfere.

In short….

A warning for apple's gatekeeper (install by drag only, no clicking around..) and a warning for the official ngspice installation in the Application folder
could be prudent perhaps…

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Christian
