BUG: pgAdmin3-1.4.3 - won't run: Cannot set locale to...

[mont@…]

I can't get pgAdmin3 to run.

1) Tried double clicking /Applications/DarwinPorts/pgAdmin3 with no success (and no feedback).

2) Tried running ./pgAdmin3 manually from /Applications/DarwinPorts/pgAdmin3.app/Contents/MacOS. Error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.0.9.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/DarwinPorts/pgAdmin3.app/Contents/MacOS/./../../Contents/Frameworks/libpq.4.dylib
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

3) Same as 2, but set DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/ first. Now I get a pgAdmin3 splash screen, followed by a requester:

pgAdmin III
An error has occured:
Cannot set locale to 'nb_NO'

I have tried setting LANG and LC_ALL to C as well, to avail.

[mont@…]

The last sentence should of course end with "to no avail". Also, I might just mention that I use Mac OS X 10.4.7, and that pgAdmin crashes with an "unexpected error" dialog.

Here's a piece of the error report:

I got it to work, with more DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH magic:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/:/opt/local/lib ./pgAdmin3

I still get the locale error, but the program doesn't crash afterwards.

[mont@…]

The story goes on:

If I change User Language in Preferences -> General to en_US, I don't get the locale error anymore.

I still have to start pgAdmin3 with the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in the previous comment, though.

[jquinteiro@…]

I experience pretty much exactly the same problem described here, bu the workarounds do not work.

I'll get a splash screen if I set DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH as described above, but the program crashes with a bus error. The stack trace is very similar to the one reported above.

Otherwise pgAdmin3 fails to run 'cause it can't find a library (varies.)

I do not get any locale errors at all.

pgAdmin3 was updated to 1.6.1. Does that solve the locale problems?

[markd@…]

No response. It may be reopened if the problem remains.

[mont@…]

With pgAdmin3 1.6.1:

/Applications/DarwinPorts/pgAdmin3.app/Contents/MacOS$ ./pgAdmin3 
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.0.9.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/DarwinPorts/pgAdmin3.app/Contents/MacOS/./../../Contents/Frameworks/libpq.4.dylib
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

The packages from ​http://www.pgadmin.org/download/macosx.php seems to work OK, though.

[markd@…]

PgAdmin3 was updated to 1.6.2 a month ago. So perhaps you haven't done a selfupdate recently. Run 'port outdated' and see if openssl is outdated. If so, update it and then the latest pgadmin3 and see if that helps.

[mont@…]

Thanks, 1.6.2 works for me now.
