(mac) app won't open

Deadline
1

I installed the latest version off your site, to run in free mode.
when I launch the app it opens x11, then the app starts to open (the icon appears in the task bar)
then it instantly closes… no explanation…

deadline 5.1.46114
osx 10.6.8
mono 2.6.7 (i think… not sure how to test that it’s installed correctly)

any insight would be appreciated
thanks

You can confirm that mono is installed properly by opening up a terminal and running this:

mono -V

This will print out the version info. Feel free to post the output for us to have a look.

We can also use the terminal to try and figure out why Deadline isn’t launching. Deadline should be in your PATH, so you can just run this:

deadlinemonitor

If it can’t find that problem, just run the full path:

/Applications/Deadline/Resources/bin/deadlinemonitor

If it crashes, it should print out some info to the terminal, which you can post here as well.

Cheers,

Thanks. This is showing that you have Mono 2.10.8 installed. First, run this shell script to uninstall Mono from the machine:
mono-project.com/Mono:OSX#Un … n_Mac_OS_X

Then install Mono 2.6.7 (make sure to grab the x86 installer):
download.mono-project.com/archiv … /download/

After this, mono -V should print out version 2.6.7. If this all looks correct, then try running deadlinemonitor from the terminal again. If you still get an error, please post it and we’ll have a look.

Thanks!
