[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6638449, member: 20323"] A while back I ran Hexographer (a JAVA-based cartography program) on Windows and loved it. Just so intuitive and quick :) I am now trying to get it to run on my MacBook Pro and it just won't run. :-S I tried emailing Inkwells for support but haven't heard back yet. Any Mac-users get this program to run? I have a hunch there is some system preference or setting regarding JAVA I need to change that the installation instructions don't mention, but I'm just not sure. [SBLOCK=More details] I installed Java 8 (update 45) for Mac OS X 64-bit and confirmed it was installed using the Oracle website. I downloaded Hexographer for Mac/Linus/Windows based on the Java Launcher. I set the amount of memory to 1.0 GB. I then got double error messages: [i]Hexographer exited unusually. If this occurred soon after setting the memory, try again with a lower setting.[/i] AND [i]To view this web content you need to install the Java Runtime Environment.[/i] I went on to the Oracle website to confirm I have the latest version of Java installed, and I do. I also tried setting the maximum memory to 750 MB - the lowest setting - but had the same problem. Following the website’s instructions, I then tried the Launch from Web Browser method. Clicking “Start Hexographer” and nothing happened (as if JAVA were not installed), just a brief moment as if the page might be loading and then nothing. I tried restarting and still nothing. Now I am truly at a loss![/SBLOCK] [/QUOTE]
