Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I double click on the setup-bg2fixpack.command icon and it says: The .command file ‘/Volumes/Mac Disk 2/Games/BGII - SoA/OSX-BG2_Fixpack-v2.rar Folder/Setup-bg2fixpack.command’ could not open. Most likely it is not executable. So I am not sure of the problem. I uninstalled the baulderdash fix. help. Thanks. Link to comment
Gorilym Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Did you expand the rar archive using UnRarX? If so, try using StuffIt Expander instead. Link to comment
Guest Guest_Wizardboi_* Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Did you expand the rar archive using UnRarX? If so, try using StuffIt Expander instead. Hi, thanks for responding. I had already decompressed the archive and I tried to launch the .command file and it gave me the error message as not being executable. Thanks. Link to comment

I think what Gorilym was pointing out, is that UnRarX doesn't extract the files properly. Link to comment

Gorilym Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Ok... Expander messing with the exec flag is unprecedented AFAIK. Try this, fire up the Terminal, type "chmod +x" (without the quotes), drag the .command file into the Terminal window and press enter. Note that you'll then have to move the expanded files into your main BGII - SoA folder in order to install the Fixpack. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 @ Gorylim: could it be a specific release of expander is buggy? It's happened before. Link to comment
Gorilym Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 @ Gorylim: could it be a specific release of expander is buggy? That seems likely. Wizardboi, what version of Expander are you using? Link to comment

I moved the three items from the rar folder into the main Baulder's Gate II folder. I opened the terminal and typed that and dragged the file to the terminal window then pressed enter. The result is this: Welcome to Darwin! dialup-4:~ mikey$ chmod +x/Volumes/Mac\ Disk\ 2/Games/BGII\ -\ SoA/Setup-bg2fixpack.command usage: chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a [# [ n]]] mode|entry file ... dialup-4:~ mikey$ ok, what's next? I am not very knowledgeable with terminal level computing please bear with me. Thanks. Link to comment
Gorilym Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 It looks like you're missing a space between "chmod +x" and the following, i.e. it should be "chmod +x /Volumes/Mac\ Disk\ 2/Games/BGII\ -\ SoA/Setup-bg2fixpack.command". Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I am using version 8.0 Link to comment
Gorilym Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I am using version 8.0 That may well be it. The current version is 11.0.2, I'd look into upgrading if I were you. Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 ok, i did a copy and past from what you typed to the terminal and it just jumped to the next line like it was never typed. Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 okay. I will download the latest version and decompress it with that and I'll let you guys know what happened. Thanks for everything. I'll be back. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I am using version 8.0 I seem to recall problems with this version. ok, i did a copy and past from what you typed to the terminal and it just jumped to the next line like it was never typed. sounds like a copy problem with the clipboard. Type it in manually, replacing "[sPACE]" with an actual space: chmod[sPACE]+x[sPACE]/Volumes/Mac\ Disk\ 2/Games/BGII\ -\ SoA/Setup-bg2fixpack.command Link to comment
