neuroConstruct crash on Mac #55

Open renzocom opened 8 years ago

renzocom commented 8 years ago

Hello, I'm on a Macbook 2009, running OS 10.10.5 and Java8, and neuroConstruct unexpectedly crashes when I tried to view any model. Changing the NC_MAX_MEMORY at the nC.sh file did not fix the problem.

To reproduce the error, simply create a template cell, then click on view/edit morphology, opening the Visualization tab. Then, when clicking the View button one or two times, neuroConstruct crashes. Here is part of the report:

Thanks in advance, Renzo Comolatti

Hi @renzocom, did you install nC with the binary installer or did you compile it from source from GitHub?

renzocom commented 8 years ago

@pgleeson I compiled it from source from GitHub, then tried run both with ant run and with ./nC.sh -make, both leading to the crash.

I've just downgraded to Java 7 and the bug disappears.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I've to update my MacOS version soon and I'll try it out with Java 8.
