Why does mavproxy.py need to be called mavproxy1.py to work on MacOS ?

[Peter Hollands]

mavproxy will only run if I rename mavproxy.py to mavproxy1.py and remove mavproxy.py. Does any one know why ?

Is it to do with MacOS case insensitivity of filenames ? We have MAVproxy/MAVproxy/mavproxy.py as a program path.

I want to be able to run mavproxy.py direclty from it's git directory on my machine,

so that I can develop it, and also control mavlink generation of the pymalink directories.

I  show below a complete example of running with mavproxy.py (error) and mavproxy1.py (success).

The code for MAVProxy was last updated on 1st October as shown in git log below.(Master).

Any comments would be welcome.

Best wishes, Pete

You might want to check your installation - did you potentially install one version of MAVLink and now try to run another one locally? Or did you install two conflicting versions?

Lorenz,

Thanks for taking the time to read through my post and comment.

I have now re-installed from scratch, and for whatever reason, MAVproxy (installed from github) is now working on MacOS version 10.10.1  Yosemite. (I upgraded my Mac OS software as well). I have the raw MAVProxy working. 

Getting all the dependencies correct for OpenCV and matplotlib is time consuming on the Mac, so I also now run Parralells with Ubuntu 14.04, and of course, that is a much better experience with all of MAVProxy modules seeming to work. (e.g. maps).

Best wishes, Pete
