Well in the log it looks much the same. It is breaking when it tries to load the RXTX drivers. It says little more.. :(

Looking at the path, it would be looking for librxtxSerial.jnilib in all of these dirs. Check each of these to see if there is a file called librxtxSerial.jnilib
/Library/Java/Extensions
/System/Library/Java/Extensions
/usr/lib/java

Also, I see you are still on a 1.5 JRE. There were a number of pretty important bug fixes to the OS X JRE since then. I would recommend updating to a 1.6 JRE.

If that still doesn't do it... I put a new jar file with a little more debug info:
http://www.efianalytics.com/TunerStudio ... udioMS.jar

Down load it and replace the jar in the 1.19 folder you extracted. Run that and please post the TunerStudioAppDebug.txt again.

Hello, I found the file in TunerStudioMs/Lib/; do I have to delete?
Also I've downloaded the dile but the same problem is happening and I have update my system but the system is updated. :shock:

No that is the good one.

DO NOT use one that you downloaded. That is usually what causes this problem.

That log shows it is litterally rejecting the librxtxSerial.jnilib in TS?

Code: Select all

20/12/11 15:49:41 :Error: Failed to load RXTX. Message:
	/Applications/TunerStudioMS/librxtxSerial.jnilib:  no suitable image found.  Did find:  /Applications/TunerStudioMS/librxtxSerial.jnilib: unknown required load command 0x80000022
I noticed your machine is actually running 32 bit, that should have occurred to me with 10.5.8

So I am going to completely reverse course from my previous post.

Try deleting the librxtxSerial.jnilib that is in the TunerStudioMS dir, don't worry about the one in lib.
Take the one you downloaded from the internet and try that in the TunerStudioMS folder.

If that doesn't work, I have a 32 bit only one here that should.

Please do try to update your JRE. It seems Apple would have already tried to push that on you.

Also, I remembered this script that did used to be needed on OS X to grant proper access to the com ports, it might help. But the error in your log seems to imply it isn't getting far enough for comm port permissions to be a problem.
http://www.efianalytics.com/TunerStudio ... 217-leo.sh

Run that in a terminal.

I'm still trying to think of other possibilities.. There are a lot of OS X users, so I'm not sure what is causing the difficulties, things to point to the rxtx binary, but I have tested that on 32 and 64 bit intel based systems.

It looks as though they don't automatically include 1.6 updates to 10.5.8

I really don't have much....
I don't know what is different here, it really should be pretty simple..

But let's see if you can talk to the MS using a basic terminal.

Open a terminal and type:
screen [YourPortName] 115200

YourPortName should be something like: /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXXX

If that works...
Then type an 'S'

See if you get something back.
