James,

Yes, indeed the preferences file does appear to be part of the issue,
however...

1) I get a partial rendering (and a whole mess of missing file messages).
Do these drawings (specifically M6067.DAT) require parts that are not in the
marsbase distribution ?

2) Some of the files reported as missing appear to be in a sub-folder '48'
within /LDRAW/P/. Moving those up to /LDRAW/P helps but does not elminate the
the list of missing parts (e.g. 3005.dat, etc).

3) That bit about deleting the preferences file is a poor UI choice. It should
have given me a menu option for specifying (or respecifying) the location in the
first place. This is a mac, ease of use should be an objective.

Ray,
Check to see if there is a preference file for macLDGLite in your
preferences folder.  If there is, delete it and relaunch macLDGLite.  It
should aks where the ldraw folder is.

I'm having problems getting macLDGLite .5 to run on ...

iMac 333Mhz / MacOS 8.6 / 160MB

It launches, but whenever I try to render anything, I get a long rapidly
scrolling list of files that are not found. I think it doesn't see the LDRAW
folder for some reason. Where should the LDRAW folder be in relationship to the
root directory (main window) of the hard drive ? I've tried putting LDRAW in the
root, I've also tried putting LDRAW in the same folder with the macLDGLite, but
get the same result. I *don't* think the issue is OpenGL, as that does seem to
be running (because I can get it to open an About OpenGL dialog when macLDGLite
is running).

Thoughts or suggestions ?

Ray

(...) It sounds like the parts files available on Marsbase do not include the original parts from the ldraw027.exe file, just the updates. What you guys need to do is have someone convert the linux parts file to a sit, or hqx, or whatever archive (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
