Hello all,
I know this topic has been covered a bit but I havn't found a clear answer. I am trying to install ArchiCAD 9 on my Mac OS 10.6 (SnowLeopard). I know it is possible to do running in emulation mode through Rosetta, in fact I did it about two years ago and have been running ArchiCAD without any problems. Unfortunately I had to wipe my hard drive last week, and now have to figure out the install process again. I understand some people have installed the program on a PowerPC Mac and copied the folder over, successfully. I however have no access to a PowerPC Mac and need to figure out the Rosetta emulation mode (again). This isn't good... Does anyone have any suggestions or step by step instructions? I've downloaded the WIBU drivers, file converter, etc. When I go to make the install, I get to the install location and it tells me to "specify a directory name."
Another method I tried to install by is from the Archicad on my external (backup) hard drive. I tried copying from the ext hard drive, onto my laptop and got the following error: Application Launch Failure: The application "ArchiCAD" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "<ArchiCAD><ArchiCAD><GSCppRuntimeLib><>". Yeah, whatever that all means.
