FoFiX not starting on MacOS High Sierra 10.13

Postby Microboy73 » Tue Dec 26, 2017 10:06 am

Hi guys,

I just tried to start FoFiX on my MacBook after some time again (and after updating to MacOS 10.13 High Sierra a while ago), and it came back with the following error message:

FoFiX Error
An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/pygame/mixer_music.so, 2): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/SDL_mixer
Referenced from: /Applications/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/pygame/mixer_music.so
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/FoFiX.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/SDL_mixer: open() failed with errno=13
/Applications/FoFiX.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/SDL_mixer: open() failed with errno=13
/Applications/FoFiX.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/SDL_mixer: stat() failed with errno=13


Anybody came across the same problem on his/her Mac? Any Ideas how to proceed here? I guess this comes from the changes Apple may have made with the latest MacOS Update, but I'm not deep enough into things to assume where to start looking...

Would be really sad if I'd have to quit fretting on my Mac :sad:

Thanks in advance,
Jan

Hi!

Which version of FoFiX are you using ? Same question for SDL_mixer. Did you update the last one ?

Cool,

I managed to solve the problem simply by reinstalling FoFix 3.120 from scratch and afterwards applying the Framework Patches from Dodgers123 from this topic: viewtopic.php?t=60213#p645450

Although I did this before on MacOS 10.12 Sierra, the update to 10.13 High Sierra might have damaged it.

After reinstalling from scratch (and then copying everything over from my config / Themes backup), it now works like a charm.

Hope this helps people that have the same problem with 10.13.

Best,
Jan

Hi, I'm having a similar problem.

IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'fofix.ini'

Somebody had the same problem? I'm in High Sierra. :(
