[chirp_users] Chirp on MAC OS X Yosemity

[Roos G Mats]

Thanks PAT,

the problem is that I am a normal “deadly guy”, just a simple MAC user, not sure I understand what you teaching me :-)

Can you please, line by line explain ?  Also, will it may work as the upgrade Yosemite ? is it of temporary nature or for ever ?

Mats

When anybody finds an answer, it deserves a page of its own on Miklor.com.  I have tried everything, I though I had it with this technique, it seemed to work for a while and then it just stopped working as well.  But you can try it, good luck and let us know how it works for you:
