Mac Install

Every time I try and load the satscape jar file it will not
open...... Im running OS X 10.5.8 and the latest version of Java ,
Ideas?



Thanks

Hi, you might be able to find out why by doing this:
- put satscape.jar on your desktop
- open 'terminal' (you can type it into spotlight to find it)
- in the terminal window type: cd Desktop (and press enter)
- now type: java -jar Satscape.jar (and press enter)

(there's a space after the word java and after -jar)
Any errors why it can't run it should appear in terminal, let me know
what they say.

Thanks Paul,
what version of Java are you running, I'm running 1.6.x on my Mac, if
you open the terminal again and type:

java -version

to find out.
If you have 1.7, try 1.6 instead. Some educational institutions are
recommending 1.7, but I wouldn't.. and Oracle (makers of Java) aren't
that confident in it either :-)

If you are running 1.6, I'll have another think....

OK.... here is the fix..... so OS X 10.5.5 has Java 1.5 as default.....  go to Java preferences in utilities and select Java 1.6. verify that the change has been made by entering java -version in the terminal and checking in the console. Downloads no problem at that point....

Love the program by the way.... thanks for the help.
