Phex 3.2 won't run: 0SX 10.4
 

Phex 3.2 won't start on my Intel Mac Mini running Java 1.5. It bounces in the dock for less than a second then disappears. I had no issues running the most previous version. Any thoughts? Or a link to the previous version?

No Virus software conflicts

Do you have anything in your phex.error.log file?
You might find it in your ~/Library/Application Support/Phex folder.

It hasn't created that file. I ran a system search for it, just in case, with no results.

BTW, previous PHEX installs did create the folder in application support. They were deleted to get a fresh install.

Java is verifying...and working with other programs.

Any other ideas?

Did you start Phex by commandline? with "java -jar phex.jar"? Or did you use the OS X packaged App?

I used the packaged app. Should I try the command line?

yes

I"ll give it a go when I get home from work.

ok.. please post any output in case you get something.

Ok, this is what I'm getting. I obviously included the "Input/Output" text to show what I typed. Hopefully I did it right. If I type in the address to the .jar file without calling java I get a permissions error. Don't know if that's important.

Input
java -jar /Applications/phex_3.2.2.104/Phex.app/Contents/Resources/Java/phex.jar

Output

Phex needs 1.5
