guys i have problem with app i click open and (PlayOnMac Error
An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script

Error: unsupported locale setting
what is this???

It's a bug coming from wxpython

If your computer is in english, type in a terminal
Type defaults write -g AppleLocale "en_US"

what right exactly??no uderstund

??

Type defaults write -g AppleLocale "en_US" all this write to terminal??

First, what is your computer language ? If it's english, run a terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal)

And type :

defaults write -g AppleLocale "en_US"

in the window

ok thanks my friend all ok

My system is in Spanish, with the locale showing as es_MX.

I've the same issue and it's a show stopper since I can only quit. I can temporarily bypass the error by executing the binary directly through a terminal.

Any more info on this?

I have the same problem, my locale is es_AR

defaults write -g AppleLocale "es_ES" ?

After reinstalling Mac OS X, I suddenly have the same problem. Like written elsewhere, I formatted the harddisk to use case sensitivity.

The console says:

After reformatting the harddisk to case insensitive letters (just only journaled), the problems disappeared.

Well, I will correct it when I have time, thank you for reporting.

Can you post a bug (if you have the time) on our bug Tracker ? (http://bugs.playonlinux.com) so that I can remember to fix it later

HI, since nobody seems to have created a bug for this so far, I just did that myself as this issue annoys me as well:
http://bugs.playonlinux.com/en/issue-107.html

please help, cannot start playonmac. first, it couldn't start at all, then i've read this topic and typed locale to defaults. now it starts with that error:

PlayOnMac Error
An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/wx/_core_.so, 2): Symbol not found: __ZN15wxPoint2DDouble14SetVectorAngleEe
Referenced from: /Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/wx/_core_.so
Expected in: /usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib

how to fix that?

Hi ! PlayOnMac 4.0 (beta) will be out in few days. We've changed nearly everything so it's likely to run !

Sorry and thank your for your patience :)

wow, that sounds cool. ok, will wait =)

If you really want, I can send you a version. But you must keep it private for the moment

Also, you must be aware that it will have some bugs because it is not yet finished at all

i think i better wait=) how many days left?) approximately?

I have no idea :)

For the moment, the program runs, and is able to install / run software
