I can temporarily trick Netsurf into running by selecting a local HTML file, using Open With, and then browsing to and selecting the NetSurf app. Curiously NetSurf is /not/ a recommended application for HTML files on my system, so I have to deactivate the 'recommended application' bit before I can select it. In this state all I get is a blank window, but I can then access NetSurf's other windows, and can do things like view the hotlist or the NetSurf version number, or configure the default homepage to another URL. On the other hand, as soon as I try to display any web page, whether local or remote, the style sheet error kicks in and NetSurf dies. I was also able to confirm that the program's default entries for preferences, its hotlist and so forth are created OK. David, may I ask what your 'local file' was? Simple web page? Complex web page? And in particular, did it have an associated local style sheet or any embedded styles in it? Thanks. -- Simon Smith | Once more unto now | Is the winter to be or | 'Tis the east (Exit.) | -Wm.

For info, the base stylesheet being refered to is "resource:default.css". I'm not sure where resource: searches on Mac OS, but there should be a "res" or "resources" directory where you installed NetSurf with that file in. If it is in there and readable, check it is filetyped to CSS with an associated MIME type of text/css. If NetSurf can't find the file, can't read it, or thinks it is something other than text/css then it outputs the base stylesheet error. I'm not au fait with how this all fits together on Mac OS or the Mac OS version of NetSurf, and the source code in those parts may as well be heiroglyhs :) It does look like there is a bit of logging though, so if you can run NetSurf with a -v switch then it will output a load of text which will possibly point to where the problem lies. Redirect that to a file and post it somewhere and we'll have a look at it. My hunch (and the most likely cause) is that the MIME type of default.css is not being detected correctly. Chris

HI, I have a Mac PPC G5 running OS 10.5.8 and was disappointed when NetSurf 2.7 wouldn't run on it. Since receiving your post below I have downloaded and installed Xcode 3.1.3 (there's supposed to be a 3.1.4 but I can't find it) and now Netsurf runs a treat on my Mac. Many thanks for that information. Alan ********************************************** On Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:44:49 +1300, Michael Drake <tlsa(a)netsurf-browser.org&gt; wrote:
