Hi,
I installed VAPOR a few weeks ago and ever since that day I've had numerous problems running various other programs. Currently VAPOR is no longer installed beause I was hoping this might resolve the problems but that didnt work. The errors are always different depending on what I'm trying to run. For example, when I try to create a PNG image with NCL I get this:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___emutls_get_address
Referenced from: /Users/whannah/NCL/bin/ncl
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
dyld: Symbol not found: ___emutls_get_address
Referenced from: /Users/whannah/NCL/bin/ncl
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
Trace/BPT trap
There were several other examples, but I forget which ones and didn't think to copy and paste the terminal output. Some other problems involved all my path variables to get screwed up. I'm 95% sure these issues are somehow connected with something that happened during the VAPOR installation.
I'm running OSX 10.6.8. Does VAPOR update a bunch of libraries or somethign that might explain these issues?
thanks,
Walter
Hi Walter,
Sorry you're having some much trouble. All files that VAPOR installs on the Mac are placed under /Applications/VAPOR.app. Futhermore, the VAPOR installer does not modify any system files on the Mac. Unless you have something in your environment that is pointing into /Applicaitons/VAPOR.app (such as the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable) I do not see how VAPOR's existence on your machine could be impacting another program.
You might try setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable prior to running NCL, and then examining the output to see which shared libraries are being loaded by NCL.
Wish I could be of more help. Best of luck.
