Delivered App crashing on El Capitan?

Hi,

I have one user of a small utility that I provided, report back that it is crashing on OS X El Capitan. He gave me this peek at the error log:

—————

/var/tmp/lwtemp_richmacbook_191791MlW6hj.command ; exit;

richmacbook:~ asarisi$ /var/tmp/lwtemp_richmacbook_191791MlW6hj.command ; exit;

Error: Protocol "NSGlyphStorage" is not defined by the system and 64-bit Objective-C does not support dynamic definition of protocols.

1 (abort) Quit process.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.

Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options.

CL-USER 1 : 1 >

This little utility does nothing more than throw up a small GUI with text boxes to fill in, then on GO it computes pointing corrections to a telescope guide system to make it perform perfectly on the sky. It communicates with the mount control over TCP/IP sending along a Javascript to the mount control program that it understands.

The utility was provided as a favor for free, so this isn’t worth troubling the Lispworks support folks with. I understand El Capitan has a number of serious flaws, and I have avoided migrating to it. But if anyone out there has seen an error like this and knows the solution, I’d be most grateful to hear from you.

I already scoured the Knowledgebase and found two issues that might fix the problem, but not sure. One has to do with invalid Fonts and the user should clean them out using the FontBook utility. The other has to do with the helpful “binary cleaner” utility (a ridiculous notion for a general purpose computer).

Anyone?

Hi David,

That error message reminds me of an error I got a couple of months
ago when I tried to install Lispworks on a fresh Macbook with OS X
Yosemite. The error disappeared after I installed all Yosemite
updates.

All the best,

Arthur

Re: Delivered App crashing on El Capitan?

Hi David

Seems to be a known problem but one that has a solution ;-)

Does this help ?

Kind regards
