[Locomotive-users] Locomotive quits on startup

[Paul Willis]

Hi

Locomotive quits on startup with the standard message "The  
application Locomotive quit unexpectedly" and the options to 'Close',  
'Report...' or 'Reopen'.

I am booted from an external Firewire hard drive and am running OS X  
10.4.8 with all the software updates. I have tried from two different  
Macs, a G5 and a G4. I have tried downloading again. I have run this  
download successfully on my colleague's Mac.

The external drive is a long story involving a PowerBook and some  
water so I don't have the option of using an internal drive at the  
moment but could this be the problem?

Does Locomotive need anything specific installed already? I ask  
because I had installed Ruby, Rails, Gems, MySQL etc 'the hard way'  
via the terminal. Unfortunately I managed to mess this up (hence  
trying Locmotive now) and then tried deleting stuff I had installed,  
I am worried that I have deleted something Locomotive is assuming I  
have.

Cheers

Paul
