Hi all,

First, Thank you to support our lovely platform.

I have some troubles to launch Celestia on my mac, when I dbl-click on its icon, nothing happens exept one bounce in the dock.

so, i try to launch it from the terminal with two commands :

1) open -a /Applications/Celestia.app/Contents/MacOS/Celestia

but nothing more.

2) /Applications/Celestia.app/Contents/MacOS/Celestia

there, i have a log output :

[quote=Terminal Output]
[vangard-explorer:~] laurent% /Applications/Celestia.app/Contents/MacOS/Celestia
Error opening config file.Error reading configuration file.2003-08-12 10:54:54.125 Celestia[795] Could not initSimulation!
[/quote]

sorry for my poor english, i'm french :)

Thx in advance :)

Shame on me... i didn't read the INSTALL_README :(

So, note to the moderator : you can delete my thread :)

Thank you.

Duke,

Thanks for reminding me that I need to add an alert panel to advise the user of what to do in this situation. (You're not the first person to have this problem.)

Have fun using Celestia!
