ActiveState Community

I upgraded to 4.3 yesterday. I first found that my preferences did not get brought forward - that should not happen in my opinion. I set most everything back, but forgot to set indentation, so it was left at the default tab width which was set at 8. The first file I opened showed indentation guides at eight (despite tabs of 4). I reset the indentation width to 4 but no change was noticed in the file. Opening other files showed the guides the correct width and the tab key working properly. But in that original file everything stays at 8.

I just installed ActivePerl and are trying to launch PPM. The GUI fires up and shows up fine. It synchronizes the database and all installed packages are shown. But when I go to do anything, like list all packages, the program crashes and the mac os x box "The application perl quit unexpectedly."

Looking at the report one can send to Apple (the full log is attached):

PID: 7090
Thread: 0
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xa07c5000

Does anyone know what is causing this? Is my ActivePerl installation corrupt?

On OSX 10.5.1 when opening Preferences->Web & Browser->Settings a popup(slide out?) windows appears with proxy connection configuration but no controls on it (OK/Cansel/etc.) See attached image.
Windows version looks normal.

Hey, I'm really new to the perl world, so please be kind! :)

I just got ActivePerl, and I'm just trying to run a basic script. But I can't get anything to work of any sorts whatsoever. My .pl files just appear as a normal text file, and when I click on them to open, nothing happens except the text of the file appears. That's it. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, or missing something really simple. I'm good like that. Any Mac gurus out there?

I'm running:
Komodo IDE, version 4.2.1, build 283000, platform macosx-x86.
Built on Tue Nov 13 13:45:25 2007.

OS X 10.4.11 - MacPython 2.5

While going through the Run Command tutorial, most things were working
as indicated they should.

There were problems with %(browser) which I eventually found work arounds
using the open command.

The Using Shortcuts for a Command's Directory failed because using "%D"
does not compensate for spaces in the pathname (the tutorial has a space
in the path). However, if you use the Browse.. option, it allows for working

I hope this hasn't been dealt with somewhere else in the forum, I couldn't find any appropriate thread. I apologize in advance if this topic has already been handled elsewhere.

When I open any dialog window in Komodo IDE, say Preferences, Help or the Run Command dialog, I can't open any other window until I close the current dialog. The dialogs are not modal, as I can switch focus to the main window or access the menu. But any invocation of a menu command is ignored as long as a dialog is open.

I tried to debug my ruby script with ruby 1.9.

But the following message was showed and the debugging stopped.

You're trying to debug version 1.9 of Ruby
but the odd sub-version (the second part) indicates this
is an experimental build. Please try either an earlier
version (1.8), or a more recent release
like 1.10 if it exists.
Please try one of the 1.8 versions (from 1.8.4 up).

How can I debug with ruby 1.9 ?

I tried the following to enable me to open files in Komodo from the command line:

[Nimai trunk]$ sudo ln -sf "/Applications/Komodo IDE.app/Contents/MacOS/komodo" /usr/local/bin/komodo
