Hi,

Have just installed ArchiCAD 8 on a brand new Mac. Have used the PC version (back with version 5) but never installed it or its libraries. On opening ArchiCAD the followwing error is reported and then I can not get into the libraries. What have I done???

Estelle:Applications:ArchiCAD:ArchiCAD
Partition size : 4194288 K
Unused memory : 0 K
Unused in temporary folder : 65765.8 MB
Duplicated database name "AC_8_INT"
at line 1 of file MASTER_GDLAC_8_INT.gdl.

Cheers
Matt

What OS version? AC 8.1 or 8.0 and rev?

first thing to try is repair permissions. From Applications-Utilities-Disk Utility
second thing to try is delete the Graphisoft prefs in your home library and in the cache folder.
Third trash the AC folder in applications, repair permissions and then reinstall, then repair permissions again

Actually I assumed that you have sufficient privileges to install the program if not that should be your first step

Solved it by installing AC 8.1, no error message now.
