I thought this was working before…
but now all I get is a crash- or as the dialog puts it- “ A fatal error ”

system specs:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version: 1.28f1


I'll even attach the crash_log


Any help would be appreciated.

follow up question…..
does anyone think that creating and working in a linux partition on the macBookPro would add any stability or performance?

if this is a possibility..
I may do this in the near future…

Hi,

It would help if you let us know what you were doing that caused the crash and also which build you're using.

Others can try it to see if it's a bug or something.

Cheers!

very simple…
added a grid object. go to -> Create Particle tab.
With the grid object selected click on Source from Geometry.
Application exits with “fatal error”

Add'l update.
Tried to add a POPnetwork and crashed with fatal error.

Steps:
added sphere.
added transform node
added keys at frame 1 and 100
Added POPnetwork node
double-clicked to go inside and crash

Add'l side note. I let the software update run on this machine (only).
OS X = 10.5.6
I'm thinking that may have broken something.
