Dear Alexander,

Yes, universal. This is what it says on the downloaded file: 'Stellarium-0.11.2-Universal.dmg'

Do you download image from sourceforge or launchpad?

You can try download dmg from my home page - http://astro.uni-altai.ru/~aw/stellarium/Stellarium-0.11.2-Universal.dmg

I originally downloaded it from SourceForge. I have now tried it from your own website, but I am afraid the result is the same: the error message re-appears.

Ouch. For Stellarium series 0.11 minimal version of Mac OS X is 10.5. Latest version of Stellarium for Mac OS X 10.4.11 is 0.10.5. But you can tried build Stellarium on your mac from sources code - instructions you can found here - http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Compilation_on_Macosx

Alexander Wolf suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #1459: “[0.10.6 and later] Stellarium does not start on Mac OS X 10.4”.

I use OS X 10.4.11 on a Mac G4 (PPC). I currently have the previous
version of Stellarium, and it works OK on my system.

Dear Alexander,

Thanks very much for the information. I am not competent to compile the program myself. But what I am puzzled about is that I have Stellarium 0.10.6 on my computer, which I downloaded much more recently than the date 2011-02-18 of the faq 1459, and it seems to work perfectly well in my system.

What I should like to do is to try the latest version and find out whether it will work. So what I need to know at this stage is just: can opening the disk image I have downloaded really damage my system? If not, I can open it and try running the new Stellarioum.

I look forward to your further answer.

Michael Graubart.

I think current binaries of Stellarium 0.11.2 will be not work on Tiger because I build it on Leopard. I can upload zip archive with Stellarium.app and you can tried run it on Tiger.

That would be great, Alexander. Please do that and tell me where I can download the zip archive from.

As I said in my e-mail in reply to Alexander Wolf's last message, I have now confirmed that v. 0.11.2 does not work in my system (Mac G4, OS X 10.4.11). I am very grateful, however, for the help.

Thank you very much, Alexander. You have been very helpful. I have now
tried the new version, and, as you predicted, it does not work in OS X
10.4.11. But v. 0.10.6 does, so I shall continue to enjoy that.

Michael Graubart.
