[Qgis-user] Mac OS X: QGIS 1.0 Preview 2 Crashes

[Dan Dittmann]

I am unable to run QGIS 1.0 Preview 2 because the application quits  
out before completely launching.

Numerous messages are left behind in the Console.

11/13/08 7:43:08 PM [0x0-0x1f01f].org.qgis.qgis[273] Fatal Python  
error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

The last message indicated the possibility of a problem relating to  
Python. A few months ago, I had updated to python.org's version and  
been using that rather than the system default. On that thought, I  
first updated to version 2.6 -- no change. I then tried the system  
default. To accomplish this, I removed the nonsystem version from my  
path, then restarted the system. After restart, my path checked out as  
expected and running which python showed me /usr/bin/python. Doing so  
however made no difference as QGIS still crashed with the same console  
messages.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what else I should look at?

My set up is on Mac OS 10.5.5 + all security updates. The system  
version of python is 2.5.1. In addition, I have trashed the pref file  
as well as moved ~/.qgis temporarily to a different directory.

I will note the previous preview exhibited the same behavior as well,  
I just did not have the time to troubleshoot it.
