Celestia Forums

I am running a G3 laptop with 10.2.6
I have downloaded Celestia and put the resource foler in the Library/Ap Support folder as directed.
When I try to launch the program the little globe shows up on the dock bouncing for a few seconds then disapears (in other words, it doesn't launch)
Anyone have any ideas why not?
thanks!

I'm not Mac expert, but did you try to run it from a console? Perhaps this way you can see the nice error messages...

i have the exact same problem. it seemed to happen after i got my 1.467 ghz upgrade card.

"Error opening config file.Error reading configuration file.2003-08-27 20:28:24.019 Celestia[445] Could not initSimulation!"

i tried also on a 1ghz titanium, doesn't launch with the exact same things...
the little globe jumping and disappearing is really depressive.

errr...

The error message indicates an installation problem.
Open a terminal window and enter the following:

cd ~
ls -l 'Library/Application Support/CelestiaResources'

and report the results.

ok it only seems to work if i put the resources in my user folder library, not the main level library. odd. but it works now so, cool.

ok that's it, works perfectly with that procedure.
have fun...it's really cool
