Hello,
I try to use SPSS 20 on my MacBook Air (2011, i7) because I need it for university. It's a student version, so I won't get support from IBM.
I have no problems to install and register the program. But when I try to open the program, SPSS won't open correctly. The program shows up at the dock but it hangs after some seconds. I have to use "Force Quit" to stop SPSS.
I tried a lot, check permissions (everything was fine as fare as i can see) and found out, I can start it correctly with the sudo command.
I use "sudo /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/20/SPSSStatistics.app/Contents/MacOS/stats". This way I can open it.
If i start SPSS from the terminal without sudo, i get this output (and SPSS hangs again):
I really don't understand why I can start it as root but not as a normal user. And what is this "Invalid memory access of location 0x7f00312d3a3a rip=0x7fff68bb1d5c"? And why I have no problem with it when I'm sudo?
This sudo-solution works for me, but I would prefer to find the problem and solve it. I don't like to use sudo that much.
Some more information:
I used "repair disk permission" (disk utilities) and it didn't help.
I have the newest version of Java for Lion.
Any idea/help for me?
Best regards and thank you
