[chirp_users] New user; CHIRP does not start on my MBP
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
T he 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.

As David Nathanson KG6ZJO sent to me earlier:
Did you already install the Python thingie too? http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips 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.

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.

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.

Thank-you for the prompt response.
What is the difference between the KK7DS distribution of the Python runtime vs. installing Python 2.7.5 (or 2.7.6 that is now available) from python.org? I already had installed both 2.7.5 and 3.3 from python.org, which obviously is not in the path that Chirp is looking in.
I 'm just wondering about how many instances of Python I'm going to end up on my system.

The KK7DS package includes pygtk and pyserial. Feel free to build pyGTK yourself and use it with your existing Python, but I bet you will find it's easier to just install the KK7DS runtime.

I accept your challenge!

I appreciate your input, thanks!

Jerald,
I also have a "normal" install of Python 2.7, however, I found you also have to install the KK7DS version. To be fair, I didn't look at the code to see if you could set an ENV to have Chirp look at the system install.

I'm happy to report that it's running now and I'm looking forward to connecting my Yaesu VX-8R and my Yaesu FT-8800R to it to see if I can easily maintain both with one applications.
I currently have to run Windows in a VM so that I can run RT Systems' software for the VX-8R and G4HFQ's software fro the 8800R. They're both great when I had a Windows laptop dedicated to them, but that laptop died and its image lives on virtually within Parallels on my Mac
Thanks! Jerald

Hi Pete,
This isn't true. You can run the .app from where ever you like. I have a number of old daily-build .apps in various folders that I test against.
Tom KD7LXL
Isn’t what I said, "you can CHIRP from any folder" that same as stating "You can run the .app from where ever you like”?
I think so.

If you are going to say something is "advisable", make sure you clarify that this is your personal advisory, not something officially recommended by the Chirp developers.

Sroll down to Mac OSX and download the KK7DS Python runtime libs. Then install. Chirp won't run on OSX without this PYGtK front end.

Sorry for the short reply. I'm on my toaster.
There is a python package you need to install, then everything should work fine.
