RaopX

Sean,

I still don’t know why some get the Bus error, sorry.
I am hoping that someone will find out and let us know.

If you built RaopX from source you could try the installer and see if that works, or vice versa.

No. Sorry

Alexandre,

RaopX needs Terminal. There are ways to make things automatic and you could probably run RaopX in a screen session so you don’t see it, but this is really a very very bad idea. You do not want RaopX running in the background all the time. Even if you are not playing music RaopX will then gradually consume all of your disk space.

What you could do is make a script that starts RaopX every time you start Spotify or something like that.
The first thing you could try is just to make a shortcut to RaopX in you Applications folder.
If you enter this: ln -s /usr/local/bin/RaopX /Applications/RaopX in Terminal.app you should see an icon for RaopX appear in your Applications folder, and if you then double click the icon RaopX should start. It will, as before, start in a Terminal, and if you close the Terminal window RaopX and your music will stop, but at least you don’t have to start Terminal.app and then enter RaopX every time, and this is safe.

Regards,

Hersson

Hi Valentin.

Sven reported the same thing happening to him. (See his comment from January 21st).
We sent a few emails back and forth, but unfortunately I was not able to help him much. I don’t know if he later has gotten it to work. Can you try the things I have suggested below and see what happens. If your problem then looks the same as what Sven experienced try and move the RaopX executable to a place where you do have access. e.g /Applications/ and run it from there. You can just do sudo cp /usr/local/bin/RaopX /Applications/ in Terminal. Then /Applications/RaopX. Maybe it works, but you may also get an error because you may not have access to libsamplerate either. Try the things underneath first.

Regards,

Hersson

Edited version of my dialog with Sven.

The full path to the RaopX executable should be /usr/local/bin/RaopX.
Try writing “ls -l /usr/local/bin/ | grep RaopX” (without the “) in a
terminal.
If RaopX is installed it should look something like this:

bash-3.2$ ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep RaopX
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 60740 11 jan 15:09 RaopX

If RaopX does not show up, then RaopX is not installed.
Try running the installer again and look out for errors.
If it does show up, then /usr/local/bin is probably not in your path.
Try starting RaopX by writing the full path in terminal:
/usr/local/bin/RaopX

if i type ls -l /usr/local/bin/ | grep RaopX in Terminal, i get
following:

Permission denied.

I have no access to usr/local

my user has admin rights.

1. Start the ‘Disk Utility.app’ (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility), select your system disk and try the ‘Repair Disk Permissions’ button.

See if that helps by doing the ‘ls -l /usr/local/bin’ or just try to start RaopX.

2. If it does not help try running RaopX with the sudo command in front. Enter your administrator password when prompted.
sudo RaopX

i only hear the sound of the integrated micro.
