   I am using Texniscope under Rosetta and look forward to you fixing the download link. Unfortunately, I do not yet follow enough Objective-C to be able to handle the recompilation process myself.

   Thanks,
   Prashant

   I’ve restored it right now.
   In fact I want to make clear that:
   1) the author of the software did not compile this build. he does not have a Mac Intel and he can’t solve any bugs about this version.
   2) I used kind of an unofficial release: there can be bugs.

   So, if something does not work as expected, it’s *not* the author’s fault.
   I compiled it, however I’ve no confidence with the code itself. I am not able to track bugs on this piece of software. Compiling it is however not difficult.

   I hope it works. I haven’t tried it on a machine different from mine, so there can be missing libraries and such. Let me know if it works. Thank you.

   When I tried to run it, it failed with the error

   Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libpng.3.dylib
   Referenced from: /Users/jslater/Desktop/TeXniscope.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXniscope
   Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
   /opt/local/lib/libpng.3.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

   I don’t know much about programming, but it seems I need to get the right library there somehow. Do you have thoughts on how you got it there?

   Thanks,
   Joe

   Yes. It’s the standard place where DarwinPorts puts libraries. It happened what I feared: libraries where not included in the .app. That is why on my machine it works (it finds the libraries) but it dows not work on your machine.

   Right at the moment I suppose it should work on machine that installed DP and have the correct libraries installed (libpng, a dp tetex installation, something else). Of course this is not how we expect a .app to behave.

   Now I try to fix this issue. It should not be that hard… however I’ll need someone to try it on a “clean” machine. (that is to say with no dp).

   Oh.. there are more missing libraries?

   Should be fixed.

   I had darwinports installed and reinstalled libpng, so I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. However, the problem has beel solved with your latest build. Thanks!

   Ok. That’s good. I played dirty: the new build is statically linked.

   Intel compile works fine but for one thing. I like to remap “next page” and “previous page” to “f” and “b” as in xdvi. The remapping works, but every time I hit either key I TeXniscope generates an alarm bell, just as if I’d hit key that is undefined. I don’t really want to have to turn sound off when I’m previewing.
