Failing to install on El Capitan

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hey, I was going to try out the new TraktForVLC but sadly can't get it to work.

The error I'm getting is the following:

Error loading Python lib '/var/folders/1n/3wtjnjvn6332d4spd154zqyh0000gn/T/_MEIFYn1kk/.Python': dlopen: dlopen(/var/folders/1n/3wtjnjvn6332d4spd154zqyh0000gn/T/_MEIFYn1kk/.Python, 10): Symbol not found: _getentropy
  Referenced from: /var/folders/1n/3wtjnjvn6332d4spd154zqyh0000gn/T/_MEIFYn1kk/.Python (which was built for Mac OS X 10.12)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
 in /var/folders/1n/3wtjnjvn6332d4spd154zqyh0000gn/T/_MEIFYn1kk/.Python

Some quick googling for /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib led me to other people's issues with installing Ruby, which could be fixed with Xcode installs or updates. My Xcode is up-to-date, however.

This is happening on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 with system Python. Tried using TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2_osx as well as the latest version (TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2.dev6.ga58c2f9_osx) following the instructions in the README. Have yet to try it on a newer MacOS.

The binaries are built using Travis, and the OSX version used for building them is 10.12.6. As they are built through pyinstaller, that explains that they are not compatible with earlier OSX versions.

Oh! Hm, well I'm stuck with this OS as this is a somewhat older machine which can't be upgraded any further.

The legacy version of the macOS bin should work for you.
