Title: Can't install Electrum (help!) Mac OSX 10.6.8 (console log posted)
Post by: NoobBitcoinUzr on September 27, 2012, 02:14:06 PM
Any help is appreciated. I can basically navigate a terminal window or monkey with some code otherwise if need be, but I would need a little handholding.

Thanks so much.

Probably relevant lines from the pastebin:
Code:

I am on linux, but I remember that I had this error message one time. Updating electrum to a newer version fixed it IIRC.
Do you have the newest version?

Here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=100502.msg1144908#msg1144908 someone had this problem and fixed it by updating MacOS.

Sorry but Electrum for OS X needs 10.7.4 or higher. If you are technical enough you could try building it from source. Upgrading to 10.7.4 should solve your problems.

Thanks, 10.7.4 it is then, I couldn't begin to start digging into the code

You wouldn't have to touch the code itself, I added some OS X build instructions to the download page (http://electrum-desktop.com/download.html), just scroll all the way down. :)
