[1/4] from: laurencegiddings:mac at: 24-Apr-2002 22:39

Hi, If anyone on the list has successfully installed Rebol Core 2.5.0.2.4 on Mac OS X would they be able to help me out? I have followed the instructions as far as they are available after downloading the appropriate file from http://www.rebol.com/platforms.html [core024.tar.gz] 1) installed in directory as follows: [localhost:~/rebol-dir] gidding% ls -l total 416 -rw-r--r-- 1 gidding staff 222 Mar 26 2001 docs.r -rw-r--r-- 1 gidding staff 5600 Mar 26 2001 feedback.r drwxr-xr-x 8 gidding staff 228 Apr 24 21:57 install -rw-r--r-- 1 gidding staff 9799 Mar 26 2001 license.html drwxr-xr-x 3 gidding staff 58 Apr 24 21:42 links -rwxr-xr-x 1 gidding staff 363984 Mar 24 2001 rebol -rw-r--r-- 1 gidding staff 4000 Mar 26 2001 rebol.r -rw-r--r-- 1 gidding staff 233 Mar 26 2001 scripts.r -rw-r--r-- 1 gidding staff 26064 Mar 26 2001 setup.html [localhost:~/rebol-dir]gidding% 2) set environment as follows: setenv REBOL_HOME $HOME/rebol-dir/ REBOL_HOME=/Users/gidding/rebol-dir/ and thats as far as it goes... I'm unfortunately also rather new to the Mac OS X, so my apologies if I've missed something very obvious... but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. [I'll leave running rebol/View under classic in Mac OS X to a later date ;-)] Thanks Laurence

Laurence, did you try running it? Try running it with: ./rebol I have tried on linux, but not on OS X. Anton.

Try this: 1. Download and unstuff the tar.gz archive 2. Copy the "core024 folder" folder where you want (I copied it in Applications and renamed it "core024" simply) 3. Open the "Terminal" application 4. Change dir (cd) to the directory where you copied your files (in my case I had to type cd ../../Applications/core024/) 5. Type ./rebol <return> to start the application It works fine for me, but with the soon-to-be-released (???) /View for OS X everything will be easier :-). Greetings -- -- Paolo Russo

I was expecting the full Rebol VID type command interface and so was trying to double/click the rebol icon, rather than run the command line. Rgds Laurence PS Mmm me too waiting for "the soon-to-be-released (???) /View for OS X" : ^ )
