Re: GUI window menus don't "open" (macOS)

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Sebastian,

thanks for trying the pspp stand-alone bundle. Could you tell me which MacOS version

you run? I only tried this on ElCapitan and it would be interesting to see how it works

on other MacOS Versions.

Regarding the macports installation, could you maybe try 

echo $LANG

in a terminal window, i.e. not in pspp? 

Could you uninstall pspp-devel and try the pspp package?

Regards

Friedrich

Hi Friedrich,

thank you answering.

My setup uses the stand-alone XQuarz application [XQuartz 2.7.9 (xorg-server 1.17.4)]. (“port install pspp-devel” installed a whole bunch of xorg executables, but xorg-server is not among them.)

“xlogo” logo launches said XQuarz installation, so it seems to be configured correctly.

Before writing earlier today, I completely reinstalled MacPorts and also substituted the XQuarz installation from a fresh download. The problem has persisted between various reboots (and a major system upgrade).

As for the language configuration, I have this curious output to offer:

PSPP> echo $LANG

.6-10: Fehler: ECHO: Syntax Fehler bei `$LANG': erwarte Zeichenkette.

So $LANG seems to be undefined, but pspp speaks German anyway.

I have since downloaded and tested your 0.10.2 stand-alone bundle which, comfortingly, works fine (including displaying in English). I had given up using the precompiled bundles as they had previously stopped being maintained. Anyway, I thus have working PSPP installation now, which does turn the case much less urgent. :)

Best regards,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, 

thanks for your problem report. I have just tried psppire from the latest 
installation of macports on my macbook pro. I have installed: 

xorg-server 1.18.4_1 
pspp 0.10.2 

both in the X11 variants from macports. I cannot see missing menus. 

Could you maybe describe your setup in more detail? 
Which version of the XServer are you using? 

Could you check the remarks in the section "Comparison to the MacPorts pspp version“ 
here: https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~beckmanf/pspp/ regarding the correct setup of the 
startup configuration? 

Regarding the language setting, could you tell us what 

echo $LANG 

shows as a result for your LANG environment variable? 

Regards 

Friedrich
