Sofa on mac osx

[Mystikave]

I installed Sofa and managed to run it perfectly on my intel mac osx. However when it starts, it doesn't show the snake screen. It's all just black. Can someone help me fix this? Thank you.

Hi @Mystikave and welcome on our Discussion forum!

Could you share with us a more detailed report:

• Version of SOFA: < INFOS ABOUT THE BRANCH OR BINARIES - e.g: "master branch at commit 70bb123", "v21.06.00 binaries", ... >
• State: < BUILD OR INSTALL DIRECTORY - e.g: "Build directory", "Install directory" >
• Log of errors if any ?
• Share with us your environment variables:

python -c "exec( \"import os, sys\nprint('#################')\nprint('--- sys.version ---')\nprint(sys.version)\nprint('--- PATH ---')\ntry:\n  print(os.environ['PATH'])\nexcept Exception:\n  pass\nprint('--- SOFA_ROOT ---')\ntry:\n  print(os.environ['SOFA_ROOT'])\nexcept Exception:\n  pass\nprint('--- PYTHONPATH ---')\ntry:\n  print(os.environ['PYTHONPATH'])\nexcept Exception:\n  pass\nprint('--- sys.path ---')\ntry:\n   print(str(sys.path))\nexcept Exception:\n   pass\nprint('#################')\" )"

I'm having these errors when running:

Is this a problem with GUI?

You problem looks very close to this old thread: https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/forum/topic/error-could-not-find-either-qt5-or-qt6/
