Hi Pat, I thought I'd already seen a message to the effect that you'd downloaded the wrong Mac executable - you need to download the Mac OSX Intel bundle NOT the Power PC bundle ? What is the name of the dmg you downloaded - should have Intel in the name NOT PPC. Cheers Dave H. On 19 December

Sorry, you're talking through your hat. GnuCash isn't built as a universal binary, it's 32-bit only. 32-bit programs run just fine on all 64-bit OSes supported by Gtk+. We (meaning I) provide two such, one for PPC built on an actual PPC Mac Mini and one Intel, built on a MacPro running MacOS 10

It is indeed complaining about the CPU. To be absolutely sure that that’s the problem, you can run file /Users/patriciamitchell/Desktop/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash-bin in Terminal. Note the “-bin” on the end. For an Intel machine it should say "Mach-O executable i386”. If it says "Mach

Looks like you somehow got the build for an x86 machine (on PowerPC machine) or (more likely) the build for a PowerPC machine on an x86 machine. It’s complaining about the CPU. > On Dec 18, 2017, at 7:56 AM, its...@gmail.com wrote: > > I did what was suggested with Terminal, although it didn't

Hi John, I have done a complete uninstall of the program. Restarted in Safe Mode, then downloaded a fresh copy of an earlier version and installed. Nothing happened. I reinstalled version 2.16.19 and attempted to launch the program. It went through the 'verification' process, then asked if I want

No, 2.6.18 didn't work either. I looked for the update when my existing version of Gnucash (2.6.17) just crashed. I admit I haven't used Gnucash for some time. ===Pat. M -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___

I've not updated either to High Sierra or 2.6.19. I usually wait a bit to see if any troubles occur before I jump in, since the latest release is not usually critical to perform any functions I need. Therefore, I don't really have any advice on what's up with your difficulties. That being said, if
