QT client doesn't start on OSX 10.6 #749

It starts for a little while, appears a splash screen for a brief moment, and then dies.

Here's the output on console log:

Still broken as of 0.5.2

Cannot reproduce on OSX 10.6.8.

There was a report of Bitcoin-Qt not working with some version of Growl, are you using the Growl desktop notifier?

Yes, version 1.2.2

I've tried to shut down growl, but it didn't work anyway.

Is this still broken for you with 0.6rc4 ?

07/01/12 17.59.25 [0x0-0x59059].com.yourcompany.Bitcoin-Qt[480] Break on THE_..._EXEC() to debug.

Can you try this and see where it ends up?

Lohoris commented at 8:53 AM on April 3, 2012: none

Compiling an updated version from git, I'll let you know.

Lohoris commented at 9:33 AM on April 3, 2012: none

Trying to build I got a lengthy error at linking stage --> #1027

laanwj commented at 8:39 AM on April 16, 2012: member

Does this still happen?

Did you manage to debug it?

Lohoris commented at 9:12 PM on April 23, 2012: none

Right, sorry. I'll build it and test it and let you know. Or is there a precompiled binary ready to be tested?

0.6.0 final is already released.

Lohoris commented at 4:28 PM on April 25, 2012: none

Yeah, I confirm it works (though I guess you already knew that). Sorry for the late response!
