Problem with FGCom 3.0

Postby gameman1 » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:41 am

When I try to start FGCom, it tells me that I don´t have permissions.
I tried both ways with the run_fgcom.command file or manually with the terminal.

I´m on Mac OS Mavericks and using FGCom 3.0 and I need the standalone because I want to use OpenRadar.

When I try with the file, it says "Die Datei „run_fgcom.command“ konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, da Sie nicht über die notwendigen Zugriffsrechte verfügen."
When I try with the Terminal, it says:
Code: Select all
"maximilians-mbp:~ Max$ /Applications/FGCom/bin/fgcom -Sfgcom01.flightgear.org
-bash: /Applications/FGCom/bin/fgcom: Permission denied"


Plesae help me, I don´t know what to do any more!

Hi,

I assume you picked up fgcom-3.0.0_mac.zip from fgcom.flightgear.org, so let's start from there.
Any program/script needs execute permission. When unzipping this file the contents doesn't have that permission.
So it must be assigned, that's what run_fgcom.command is trying to do. But I guess it's needs to have execute permission as well.
Well, then make it so, as follows: "chmod +x run_fgcom.command". Now try again.

PS: did you know OpenRadar comes with build in FGCom these days?

I know that open radar has FGCom built in but I think this does´t work with Mac OS or did they fix that with V3.0?

The run_fgcom.command and test_fgcom.command have all the required command in order to avoid this error.
The only things that you need is to set the run/test_fgcom.command as executable with the command line given by PH-JAKE.

Last time that I had info from a Mac user he told me that double-clicking on run/test_fgcom.command show up a popup with a message something like "This script is provided by a non-verified developper, are you sure you wnat to open it ?" and you have a "Yes" and "No" button that you can click. But it looks like your Mac has not the same behaviour and make the choice to don't open the script instead of asking you.

Once you have found how to authorize your Mac to execute this script you will be able to use FGCom. (You can even ask for help on a dedicated Mac forum maybe)

I would have to go and see, but that will take a few days. Or one of the OpenRadar developers beat me to it.

Sorry if I chime in - to give execute permissions, the command should be
Code: Select all
chmod +x run_fgcom.command

instead of "-x".
