Aygen: Hi, Thank you for this great software. I have justed uploaded the last version. Ever since, the script in Pixinsight doesn't work anymore. Indeed, I have tried to update the path (via the wrench) to the software but unfortunately, given the format (msi), I can't proceed. Do you have any workaround ? BTW, I tried to convert it to an exe format, but without any sucess. Thanks for your great suport. You have to install it by double-clicking it (in Windows, obviously). After the installation it will appear as an application in the start menu and from right-clicking on the icon it will give you the path you need to enter in PI. Like

Yes, and it gets installed in a very odd place (at least in my case). But once I told PI where the executable was it worked fine. Like

The latest GraXpert 2.2.0 from three days ago "graxpert-macos-arm64.dmg" does not run on MacOS 12.6 (21G115) M1 Macmini.
Previous versions have worked fine.

The only error I can find in a live syslog is:
GraXpert Error loading Python lib '/Applications/GraXpert.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python';: dlopen: dlopen(/Applications/GraXpert.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python, 0x000A): Symbol not found: (_mkfifoat)

When running the script from PI I get an error too:

run --execute-mode=auto "/Applications/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/Graxpert.js" Processing script file: /Applications/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/Graxpert.js* Code signature verified:script-id : GraXpertdeveloper-id : JuergenTerpetimestamp : 2024-01-10T14:51:20.187Z** Warning [156]: /Applications/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/Graxpert.js, line 242: assignment to undeclared variable pathmacOS: /Applications/GraXpert.app*** Error [000]: /Applications/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/Graxpert.js, line 465: Error: ProcessInstance.executeOn(): invalid process execution: null view

line 242 is : path = fd.fileName;
line 465 is : P.executeOn(view, swapfile);

Seams there is problems with finding the path or some swap? I have lots of space and the path is obviously set.
I updated python, pip, pyodbc etc. the usual suspects... still same.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks for this. Im trying to make the script work in Linux, but when the repository tries to update PI, It just gets a 404. Should it work in linux? Seems like it should since a linux binary for graXpert is available and also PI. Unless the script is using some required binaries... Thank you! Bryan Like

franksemi: The latest GraXpert 2.2.0 from three days ago "graxpert-macos-arm64.dmg" does not run on MacOS 12.6 (21G115) M1 Macmini. Previous versions have worked fine. The only error I can find in a live syslog is: GraXpert Error loading Python lib '/Applications/GraXpert.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python';: dlopen: dlopen(/Applications/GraXpert.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python, 0x000A): Symbol not found: (_mkfifoat) ... Any ideas? Cheers, Frank ---- Hi Frank, hm, this sounds like a tough nut to crack. I assume there is some incompatibility issue with GraXpert's native dependencies (GraXpert itself is based on Python and brings it's own embedded Python runtime if that is anything meaningful to you) or with it's embedded Python runtime. One likely issue is that your macOS version might be too old: I checked this with Steffen who has access to an arm64-based Mac with macOS 13.6 and who creates the arm64 packages - For building the arm64 image of GraXpert we unfortunately cannot rely on Github infrastructure since Github does not provide arm-based runners (yet?). In my understanding, graxpert-macos-arm64.dmg should run on any macOS version >= 13. Hence, older versions might run into such issues. For the graxpert-macos-amd64.dmg package we have a macOS >= 11 dependency since this is the oldest macOS version provided by Github. Do you have the knowledge to run GraXpert from Python sources? If yes we can assist you with that and you could build your own .dmg wich will run on macOS >= 12. You might want to join our Discord for a more interactive discussion. I by myself will look into Astrobin's forum only sporadically. https://discord.gg/bVgeWXas Best regards and CS David Edited ... Like

My issue is getting the download to download. Once the download is complete, this is what I see. I followed your path, and it's not in there. As far as I can tell, my system should not be blocking the download. Like

Andrea, I greatly appreciate all your help. I just saw from David that the new version 2.1.0 is only available via a msi installer, and he provided a link for the 2.0.2 version that is the graxpert.win64.exe. That did download and install and so far, opens. Again, thanks to both you and David for your help. Like

am unsure if I understood you correctly: when you say "... can I still get upgraded to a newer version and have them install", do you refer to the GraXpert update path, to the PixInsight toolbox update path or to the compatible versions between both? Please note: for PI I probably have to clarify more detailed questions within our team as I do not own PI by myself. Best regards David Bob doesn't have PI. He wants the stand-alone version but as far as I can see they only come as .msi for the newer versions. Like
