Mac System 10.2.6--need help

[jessica]

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.

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.
