I did see that post back when it was posted. I assumed the issue was fixed because I saw an update to the 10.6-branch fink package past the 0.7 release and 10.6 Standalone coot packages, explicitly labeled for 10.6.

For those of us still using SL (which gets security updates from Apple, so it is not yet reckless to use it), we should probably go back to the latest stable release (0.7.0), which works well on SL. I am planning on replacing my laptop within a year, and get back on Apple's OS update cycle. That is the ultimate solution.

Also, we all appreciate Bill Scott's efforts maintaining fink packages and the standalone versions of coot. He obviously cannot and should not support old OS versions.

Dear Özkan and all,

this question was asked by Dave a month and a half ago (https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind1303&L=coot&P=R286), but there was no reply.

Snow Leopard is deprecated, even though 25% of OSX users, presumably unwilling to downgrade their laptop to a smartphone clone, still use it. I understand that Bill doesn't have an SL machine anymore.

But please, please, is there a way to keep coot going on SL?

Hi everybody,

After a long break, I tried to run coot on my 10.6.8 Mac, but could not
even start coot. I am running the latest fink package (0.7.1-pre-4562),
but I also tried the latest stand-alone binary (4613) from Bill Scott. I
would appreciate anyone with hints to solve this problem.

Coot dies around here:

Below are the gdb backtraces. (gdb also warned about a million missing
object files, but I think that has more to do with how the executables
are produced, and gdb looks for things; I may be very wrong.)

For the stand-alone coot,
