I'm still trying to get Guess working on Macintosh X-4 Tiger - wasRe: search doesn't work for me

[Ears]

Are you currently using a Mac, running System OS-X-4.11 ?

If so let know how you got it to run after it seemed to install.

Thanks,

Dwight

If guess is a folder in applications i.e. the path is /Applications/guess/

Then you should be able to go to the terminal and
type: cd /Applications/guess/
and then type

./guess.sh

To start guess. If you need to retool your guess.sh file, replace the
text in there with this text:
- - - copy below - - -
#!/bin/sh

# edit the line below
export GUESS_HOME=/Applications/guess
export GUESS_LIB=$GUESS_HOME/lib

export GCLASSPATH="$GUESS_LIB/guess.jar:$GUESS_LIB/piccolo.jar:$GUESS_LIB/piccolox.jar:$GUESS_LIB/jung.jar:$GUESS_LIB/commons-collections.jar:$GUESS_LIB/hsqldb.jar:$GUESS_LIB/freehep-all.jar:$GUESS_LIB/colt.jar:$GUESS_LIB/prefuse.jar:$GUESS_LIB/TGGraphLayout.jar:$GUESS_LIB/looks.jar:$GUESS_LIB/mascoptLib.jar:$GUESS_LIB/jfreechart.jar:$GUESS_LIB/jide-components.jar:$GUESS_LIB/jide-common.jar:$GUESS_LIB/forms.jar:$GUESS_LIB/jcommon.jar"

echo $GCLASSPATH

java -Xmx512M -DgHome=$GUESS_HOME -classpath $GCLASSPATH
"-Dpython.home=$GUESS_HOME/src" com.hp.hpl.guess.Guess $@

echo $?
- - - copy above - - -
Please note that I have told guess to use lots of ram (512mb if
necessary) If you don't want or have much ram just delete -Xmx512M or
change it to something smaller, like -Xmx64M (I believe 64 is actually
the default max).

also you might have to change the file's permissions to be executable.
If so then type:
chmod 0755 guess.sh

If that doesn't work there might be other issues I'm not aware of. I
used to be able to bundle GUESS as an executable (i.e. double click on
the file) using jar bundler, but haven't had much success in the
recent past. That said, I have a jar of GUESS 0.5 for Tiger available
if all else fails.

Take care,
BERNiE
