Pete, Thank-you for the input. I think that you can appreciate that I was trying to solve a problem by going to the CLI, instead of trying to circumvent the normal method of starting an app on a Mac.
Where on danplanet.com is the information that the Python runtime is required. I obviously missed that.

First, if CHIRP won’t launch & won't run, you may have neglected to install the Python runtime. CHIRP needs that. Even though Mac OS X includes Python built-in, the runtime has to be installed is because it includes PyGTK and some other libraries that Chirp requires, in addition to Python itself: http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/
Second, CHIRP is an application, which runs in its own application window. CHIRP is not designed to run from a command window. You run CHIRP by clicking in the application: chirp-4.0.0.app. You can run CHIRP from any folder, but it is advisable to deploy the chirp-4.0.0.app into the Applications folder and run it from there. I keep CHIRP in in my Dock where it is convenient to open.

Hello,
I just discovered Chirp yesterday and I downloaded it to check it out. I read the entire FAQ at http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/FAQ, but there is nothing there about the application not starting up.
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 17 with 16GB RAM, running Mac OS X 10.9 with all software up-to-date. After downloading the ZIP, I dragged Chirp over to the Applications folder.
I then opened Chirp and went down into .../Applications/chirp-4.0.0/Contents/MacOS and ran "chirp" from there in a Terminal window. This is what I got:
$ ./chirp ./chirp: line 15: /opt/kk7ds/bin/python2.7: No such file or directory ./chirp: line 15: exec: /opt/kk7ds/bin/python2.7: cannot execute: No such file or directory
But, I do have python:
$ python -V Python 2.7.5 $ which python /usr/bin/python
The Chirp shell script is setting PYTHON
PYTHON=/opt/kk7ds//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
If I search my disk from /Library, this is what I find:
rary root# cd / jerald-mbp-wlan:/ root# find /Library -name Python -print /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python /Library/Python
It's interesting to see that I have a framework for Python 3.3 and yet the binary in my path is v2.7.5
Not sure what I should do next.
BR, Jerald
