Set UP eagle on mac os x

Wellll, I tried the instructions on this page:

For the brave: If you want to try the Export to PCB..

1. Download and install the latest beta of EAGLE 5 from http://cadsoft.de/betatest.htm
2. Copy the files from the Fritzing/eagle subfolder to the corresponding subfolders of your EAGLE installation
3. In Fritzing, define the location of EAGLE under File -> Preferences.. -> Fritzing -> EagleOpen your Fritzing sketch and select File -> Export to PCB..
4. Notice: You might actually have to restart Fritzing before this works, and on Mac, click twice.

And... it didn't work for me.  Fritzing doesn't seem to like it.  I'm on a Mac, 10.5. 

But, this looks awesome!!!   Keep at it!

Hi Steve,

thanks for trying out. Can you tell us what exactly doesn't work? Does it show any errors?

It did work on any Mac I've seen so far, with just a little hiccup (see the notice). And that has already been fixed for the next release.

I think I know what happened...  Fritzing is looking for 

 /Applications/EAGLE/EAGLE.app/Contents/MacOS/eagle

and the EAGLE cad package installs at:

 /Applications/EAGLE/EAGLE.app/Contents/MacOS/EAGLE

the fix is to open a shell and type:

cd /Applications/EAGLE/EAGLE.app/Contents/MacOS/

mv EAGLE eagle

of course your path may be different if you installed in is someplace other than

Applications

I put a note in the "bugs" section of this forum on this issue.

Thanks, although the bug discussed here is much older. The new one that you found has been introduced with Eagle 5.0.0. Thanks also for the suggested work-around, that's the only way to get it to work at the moment.

We will fix this with the next Fritzing release.
