Here is my system data:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.1f5
Serial Number (system): W8603VJ5U2P
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB845E92
It runs bog standard 10.5.8 (Lion). No third party system extras or funny settings made via the terminal shell. I have even tried with a brand spanking new user account. The app appears to launch - the first try invokes (as it should) the “this is newly installed software - are you sure?” warning, but then nothing. It doesn’t actually launch. It’s a non-reported, non-system-fatal crash. That’s the extent of the clues I am able to provide. If there is any further data which may be relevant, please let me know. Meanwhile, I am staying with 3.2.8 which seems to work fine.
It will almost certainly be valuable to know what version of Java you have.
Sorry, it’s 1.5.0_30, which I was assuming by now everyone knows is the end of the JRE road for OS X 10.5.8 (unless something has changed - I can no longer update it).

What output do you get from ‘which java’ when you run it in a terminal?

Hi!
3.2.10 also does not run on my old PowerBook G4:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Model Identifier: PowerBook5,6
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Processor Speed: 1.67 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
When I type “which java” in Terminal, I get “/usr/bin/java” as response. Not what we are looking for. But “java -version” tells me it is "java version “1.5.0_30”
I tried the CTRL+Click → Open. Also no luck.
3.2.8 runs just fine.
Cheers,
Martin

/usr/bin/java is probably a symbolic link. To what does it point?
Do:
ls -l /usr/bin/java

Guys? Would you please reply? This bug is holding up the release of 3.2.11.
I’m giving up on this problem unless I get a reply from someone who’s having it. I don’t have a system on which I can troubleshoot it myself.
Hi Joel,
Sorry for the slow response. I ran the command above. This is the result
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 26 Aug 2011 /usr/bin/java → /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
I don’t know what any of this means, but am happy to work through this with your guidance. I’ll stay on top of this thread from here on.
Thanks!
Martin

That’s what I needed to know. Thanks.

What that command shows is that /usr/bin/java is a symbolic link to
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java.
Please try 3.2.11-svn9007:
vassalengine.sourceforge.net/bui … macosx.dmg
Does this launch for you?

Beautiful, yes, thanks, that runs just fine. It also opened with double click, at least on the second try. The first time around I used the CTRL+Click → Open method.
All good for release then, I hope!
Cheers,
Martin
