This definitely needs someone with Mac OS experience. I was able to
unzip a Mac distribution but couldn't find the stock_config files so
they might not be included.

Thanks Ron - an error related to
where Chirp is looking for the stock
config files makes sense.
Now to the important question:
how do I remedy this on a Mac?
Downloading and dragging a file into
the Applications folder is obviously
different than how you would do a
Windows/Ubuntu install.
I did a quick scan of the
Yosemite directory structure and
couldn't find any Chirp files
anywhere (besides the primary Chirp
app).
Continuing the testing,
I installed chirp with
"python setup.py install"
while in the
"chirp-daily-20150513"
directory.
Setup installed the stock
config files in
"/usr/local/share/chirp/stock_configs"
while the chirp expects to
find them in
"/usr/share/chirp/stock_configs".
Looks like a
misunderstanding between
chirp and the setup.py
defaults, that may affect
Mac as well as Ubuntu.
Quick and dirty fix, I
created a symbolic link at
the expected directory with
"ln -s ../local/share/chirp
/usr/share/chirp". I think
I had to restart chirp twice
before it picked up the
"File->Open stock config"
and "Radio>Import from
stock config" menu items.
I am running chirp on Ubuntu
14.02. I can create your
symptoms if I delete both
directory
"chirp-daily-20150513/stock_configs/"
and
"~/.chirp/stock_configs/"
(during init, chirp copies
chirp-daily stock config
files to
~/.chirp/stock_config and
initializes the application
to use the files under my
home directory).
I don't "install" chirp but
simply extract the daily
build and run it in place.
An installed version may
expect the source
stock_configs/ files
elsewhere (I think
/usr/share/chirp on Ubuntu).
I don't know much about the
Mac, but for some reason it
can't seem to find the
stock_config/* files that
are part of the distribution
so it doesn't create the
corresponding menu items.
KK7DS
Python Runtime
R10 is
installed. I
was able to
successfully
download info
from
RepeaterBook,
so Chirp is
partially
working. Just
no sign of
stock config
anywhere.

So if you
click "File",
is there an
"Open stock
config"
option? This
would be the
same files.
They just open
in a separate
tab. You would
just
cut-and-paste
them to where
you want them
instead of
import them
directly.

You'll have to
bear with me,
I'm not a Mac
person. You do
have the
"KK7DS Python
runtime"
installed,
right?
