[Scribus] Re: Aqua versions crash on start #still #2

Hello Andreas,

So I thought as well, but I couldn't seem to find any fault with the 
font sets on the OS-X installations, on which I have tried to run it, 
and therefore...

>I'm afraid I've to ask

...no prob, I am more than happy to do some lower-level diagnossing 
of the issue!

Sooo, it's looking for the freetype package in Developers directory 
(or drive), no?
I decided to give it a whirl and copied the 2.19 version of FreeType 
into the developer directory on my startup drive, renamed it 
"freetype-2.1.9", and tried again to run it but then it gave me this 
on Ctrl-C:

And after creating a  "freetype-2.1.10" copy of FreeType 2.1.10 in 
Developers, it was still missing some Freetype ressources...

Well, it appears to me that there are some problematic references in 
the FreeType framework currently offered for download, at least in 
2.1.9 and in the 2.1.10 that comes inside the full frameworks package 
(haven't tried the separately available 2.1.10)
I wonder if other Aqua user can run the programm ok, because they 
have joined the Alpha testing party a bit earlier than me and may 
have kept older framework copies installed, just updating the main 
app?

Looking forward to get this running... ;-) TNX! -Martin
