I'm a new user, creating cards to study Lebanese Arabic. Just downloaded version 2.3 for Mac. Running OSX 10.92.

Whenever I click on "browse" I get a message "Database error. Driver not loaded. Driver not loaded." Then Mnemosyne closes.

What is this? Am I supposed to have a driver. I think I saw a similar query in the forum, and the recommendation was to re-download, and make sure one had the newest version. So I did - my previous version was 2.18 or something. Exact same problem with 2.3.

What's up?

Also every time I open it I get a tip. If I click on the button to not show tips, nothing happens, same if I click on the button to close the tip. (If I click on the red dot in the upper right, the tip window does close.) Any way to stop seeing tips?

I have read the documentation, didn't find any answers to the driver problem.

I hope someone can help!

There is a problem with the 2.3 mac installer, which Patrick is working on. The previous version (2.2.1) should work, though.

Cheers,

Peter

Thank, Peter! How can I find 2.2.1? When I google it, I get 2.3

Also I had an earlier version before 2.3 - maybe 2.18? I had the exact same error in that version.

Hi Peter,

I thought you were suggesting I should use version 2.2.1, as there was a problem with 2.3, weren't you?  What you just posted is still a link to version 2.3 - at any rate, when I click on it what I see is:

Download

The current version of Mnemosyne is 2.3. For a list of what's new in each release, see the this page.


It's version 2.3 that is giving me the errors.  As did the earlier version that I initially downloaded. 

What is the nature of the error in the Mac installer?  Would that be causing the software to crash if you try to browse through the cards?

In bold on that same page it says:

Note: the OS X client is still at 2.2.1 while we sort out some packaging
issues.

The OSX link also links to the 2.2.1 release.

Ah, thanks!  I just downloaded 2.2.1, and am running it.  When I first ran it, I got an error "Unable to load file: database version mismatch," but the browse function works and the cards I previously created are actually there!  So can I just ignore the error about not being able to load the database?

Hi,

If you no longer get errors on subsequent runs, it should be fine.

Cheers,

Peter
