Weird OS X problem
I know that this list is for PowerBooks but I didn't get any response on the iMac list, so I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help. I came home Thursday night and went to check my mail, do some Quicken stuff, and so forth. However, I have a MAJOR problem with my G4 iMac, 10.3.7. Just about every third party program crashes on launch and generates an error message that have the following in common: something about a shared library error and the a string that looks like this: ...CarbonLibCFMPriv_QD Where the ellipses (...) are in the example, the text varies. The iMac worked fine Thursday morning. Any ideas as to what is causing this? I've repaired permissions, ran the cron scripts. I also tried it on a test admin account with the same errors. My next idea was to re-run the 10.3.7 update, or, maybe better, do an Archive Install of 10.3 and then just update to 10.3.6 -- Sincerely, Dennis B.

If you could send me the crash log, I might be able to find out which one it is. Then, you could try a program called Pacifist which has the ability to extract files from an installer package and retrieve the faulty file from the OS X install CD. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage.
