Software update broke my install?

Installation & Configuration Mac OS X
#1

I was just using Ardour without a problem not too long ago, and since a software update I can’t get it to start. It stalls when starting the audio engine. Any help is really appreciated. I’ve scoured forums and mailing lists and came up empty.

Things i’ve noticed are:

  • fader belt image icon
  • ladspa plugin error
  • bus error

I’ve tried re-installing both Ardour and Jack. with Jack, I notice this at computer startup:

#2

Starting from the terminal like you did won’t work sadly due to the way that OS X .app bundles work and the work required to port from Linux to OS X.

What version of OS X, what architecture(PPC or Intel?)

Did you update or reinstall Ardour at all in that time or no? If no, did you update or reinstall Jack?

If no to both of those(Update/Reinstall questions), try opening JackPilot first, adjusting its preferences to match your setup, and then hitting START there, then open Ardour and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn’t, come into IRC (Chat) and get some help there as it is going to be easier to troubleshoot over IRC, something odd seems to be going on. You have some plugins that are reporting they were compiled for the wrong architecture which would point to downloading the wrong package or Ardour and installing it, but I am not sure if that is the only problem here or not.
