Topic: Electrum wont start: Mac OSX Lion (Read 198 times)

Hi all,

posted this on reddit, but hoping to get a bit more community support here.

I downloaded the latest Electrum build to my MacBook and validated the PGP key signature successfully.

I set up an installation of Mac OSX Lion on a USB key. I've disabled all network connectivity to the MacBook and booted to this air gapped install.

I've opened the Electrum DMG and copied the binary to the applications folder. When I launch the application, the Electrum icon bounces in the doc for a few seconds, as if its attempting to open, then it simply disappears with no error messages.

Any thoughts on what's going on?

Is the latest Electrum compatible with OSX Lion?

Many thanks

Edit: here is the output from the system console error log:
