regards and salutations...

I was asking for the version of Hax Nuit that was fixed using SoaS, not the original. I'd do it myself, but my attempts to install SoaS on my Mac were unsuccesful.

Ruby, try the installers mentioned in the following post by Ener Hax: http://iliveisl.com/general-ramblings-a ... n-a-stick/

They install directly on the Mac without needing Parallels or Windows, and work very well indeed.

I used the source version of SoaS to load the OAR file from Ener's site into SoaS, then re-saved it as a fresh OAR file, and uploaded that version to Kitely. You can see the results here: http://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Dot-Matrix/Hax-Nuit

I'd be happy to help if you have any questions or problems with the procedure. We could meet up in world (time zones permitting) and work through the procedure together.

Thinking more generally, perhaps we need a new thread for Mac users of SoaS, so we can keep all the information together. Ener doesn't seem to have included this post in her list of SoaS-related posts.

The SoaS is not working for me. I installed it on my Mac, then had to install something called Mono. When I click on the SoaS application, it immediately exits. No messages or anything. It just exits.

Ok, I noticed there was a terminal window. It had a slew of error messages. This was the first one.

cd /Applications/SoaS.app/Contents/Resources/; ./startmariadb.sh;
./startmariadb.sh: line 23: 556 Segmentation fault ./bin/mysqld --defaults-file=./my.cnf --basedir=$basedir --datadir=$datadir --socket=$socket --language=$lang --pid-file=$pidfile --character-sets-dir=$charsetsdir --console > /dev/null 2>&1
It looks like something went wrong, Is MariaDB already running?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ruby. I've had that sort of error message once or twice. What I've done in that case is quit Terminal (command-Q as usual) and restarted my Mac. That should clear the MariaDB error.

From the Terminal messages it looks as though you used the Installer package: http://simonastick.com/download/SoaSInstaller.dmg

I've been using the Source package: http://simonastick.com/download/SoaS_Source.dmg

You can install this anywhere on your hard disk. It puts all the files you need in a folder (I've called mine SoaS). To start the OpenSim instance, double-click run_soas_sim.command.

It's worth watching the Terminal window that opens up at this point.

Good luck, and please let us know how you get on. In particular, if the process stops again, copy any error messages shown in Terminal.

Let's see if we can help sort this out for Mac users more generally. SoaS is such a useful tool for OpenSim.
