When I try to open PlayOnMac I get a message saying, "PlayOnMac has encountered a fatal error, and will now terminate," with the choices to either open console or terminate.
The console log says:

Try reinstalling POL? It looks like something in POL is corrupt. When did this start happening?

This happened the first time I tried to use it.

Fully uninstall it or delete it, and try to install it again. Perhaps the download of the .dmg didnt finish completely? Im not sure what pre-requisites you need for PlayOnMac, either.

What version of OSX are you running?

Ok, so yeah. Delete POL, REdownload, and REinstall. I dont think that it fully downloaded. It is about 160 MB, so Im thinking that it didnt fully install, because it didnt download all of the data.

Hmm. Im not sure what could be missing then. I dont use a Mac, but is your system up-to-date? Do you have the pre-requisites to run POL? I know that it needs a few things. Maybe you dont have Python installed or something?

Hopefully another Mac user can chime in. I have been trying to get ahold of one (or even just get a version running in VB for testing), but alas, I have not found one yet. lol

Ah, well thanks for your help, its probably my computer as its pretty old and has been (literally) falling apart recently.

I mean, it may just be missing a couple of libraries. Im just not sure which ones.
