A question about Mac OS X installation

[ygibberish]

Hi there,

I am having problems installing Io on OS X (10.5.3), and would dearly
love some help.

Specifically, if I download the src from the website (or git it from
the repository) then the:
"make vm"
and:
"make install"
seem to work, except when I try to run:
"io"
----
it gives me the following error:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/libiovmall.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/io
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
----
however, I can io_static.  This problem seems to be quite pervasive
as well, since it seems that the addons also suffer from a similar
problem (being unable to load required dynamic libraries) and so I am
left with the vm, but no addons.

If, on the other hand I install using macports:
"port install io"
then it seems to install fine, and running:
"osxvm"
seems to work, however I don't seem to have control over the
installation of addons.

Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!

On a side note, when I run the interpreter interactively, it has only
basic text entry capabilities. Am I correct in assuming that readline
and editline capabilities are part of the addons that I am unable to
install?

Thanks for any/all help!

Ta,
Andrew

Thanks for the bug report. I've pushed a possible fix.

It should have up/down arrow history.

The osxvm installed via macports (Io 20080120) doesn't seem to have even that.

I've had similar bad experiences with the port version of Io. I've  
since been installing from source and have been much happier (not all  
addons yet compile, but I'd say 90% do for me after running 'sudo make  
port'.

just to give an update: when I pulled down the latest git repository I still had the same sort
of error (but with @executable_path/libiovmall.dylib replaced by @executable_path/../lib/libiovmall.dylib ) . However, I noticed that the dylib it wasn't
finding was there, but with permissions that didn't allow me (not the owner, which was
admin) to run it.

When I chmoded it to allow group and other reading and executing then the problem
seemed to go away.

So, thanks heaps for all your help.

Ta,
Andrew
