Troubleshooting

Operation of ConQuest, Vista and PreQuest on Mac OS X requires an X server to be running in rootless mode such that X-Window applications can be successfully launched as separate windows on the console display.

 

IsoStar 2.1.3 is a client-server application and only the client software can be installed on Mac OS X. A public IsoStar server is now hosted at CCDC: http://isostar.ccdc.cam.ac.uk. Access to scatterplots from this public server requires a licensed copy of the IsoStar 2.1.3 client package (see Public IsoStar Server). Alternatively, you can use an HTTP server to make the IsoStar data available. The HTTP server can be run on any of the supported IsoStar Linux platforms (see Supported Platforms). Please note that it is currently not possible to run the IsoStar server on Mac OS X. Further information on setting up your HTTP server is provided (see IsoStar 2.1.3 Installation).

 

Safari does not employ Helper Applications so if this browser is being used to access IsoStar data you will need to download the scatterplot file then open the file within the IsoStar client manually. Alternatively, Firefox can be configured to launch an application associated with a particular file extension.
