Hi,

I bought the humble bundle and tried to run the application after running the 1.0.3 installer. Here are the error details:

A few people are still seeing this bug in OSX 10.5.8.  So far, the only fix I've found is to upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion.

Same problem - 10.5.8 too.  I'm also one of multiple people with 10.5.8 who are having the same issue with Crayon Physics Deluxe, so just wanted to mention that folks might want to check there too for a solution.  As of now, there's nothing, though.

I'm afflicted by the same error on 10.5.8. I tried googling it and came across this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2616738/linking-to-libcrypto-for-leopard
Is this at all relevant or useful?

It seems Cogs was built with a dependency on 0.9.8 of libcrypto, while Mac OS X 10.5.8 only has 0.9.7.

Code: [Select]

ls /usr/lib/libcryp*
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.dylib

Ideally the developers should rebuild it to depend on 0.9.7, unless there is an easy way to upgrade libcrypto to 0.9.8 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

+1 on getting this fixed 

I got the Humble Bundle for my gf because I thought she'd like Cogs and Crayon Physics and which two do you think failed to run on her laptop?

I'm putting together a new build right now that attempts to work-around Apple's poor backward-compatibility issues with older OS versions.  If you want to give it a try, email me directly: rob@lazy8studios.com.  If it works for those of you who are having issues in OSX 10.5.8, I'll make it live in the Humble Bundle.

Fixed!

You can get the new installer for version 1.0.4 from your Humble Bundle account.  It's taking a bit longer to figure out how to make this work in the Steam build.
