Obviously I should reply to myself: 1. It's the "copy across new skycat.cfg" trigger that is the problem. If I say "cancel" GAIA starts up. GAIA crashes if I ask it to overwrite my config file. 2. The auto tools dev GAIA does not trigger the problem because commit 5e27cd204dbeeb3daad is newer than my dev build. I attach my old skycat.cfg to allow people to test the copy trigger on OS X. -- Tim Jenness On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 11:34 AM, Tim Jenness <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Is GAIA working for people after doing the rebuild with the new autoconf > tools? > > On OS X GAIA worked last week.
