Installing Scala on Mac OSX Leopard

Hi!
I am trying to get Scala to work on my mac. I followed all the installation instructions and prerequisites and the program quits immediately after opened. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Also - I think the problem may be with the gtk2 port...any advice here?

It took me quite a while to set Scala on Mac OS X (mine is 10.5.8).
And I already forgot a lot of what I did to get it to work. However,
you ought to do these step by step if I remember correctly:

1. Go to Apple developer site and download iPhone SDK which contains
XCODE. The file is huge, it will take some time to download.

2. Install Xcode WITH the UNIX Development package. Don't forget that
option!

3. Install MacPorts.

4. Run a Terminal window and type "sudo port install fontconfig". Let
Fontconfig install.

5. Once again, in the Terminal window, type "sudo port install gtk2".
Let GTK2 install.

6. If you get an error message, it is possibly the path being wrongly
set or not set at all for Macports. Modify the relevant file by typing
open .profile in the terminal window in your home folder (navigate
there by typing cd ~).

The paths should look like these:

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-11-02_at_03:02:22: adding an
appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:developer/usr/bin:$PATH
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with
MacPorts.

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-11-02_at_03:02:22: adding an
appropriate MANPATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:developer/usr/bin:$MANPATH
# Finished adapting your MANPATH environment variable for use with
MacPorts.

7. Download and install SimpleSynth.

8. Download and install SCALA for Mac.

Voila! Now run Simplesynth and THEN SCALA. It should run in the
Terminal. Choose your settings, import .SCL files, select Simplesynth
as the playback device, etc...

Follow the instructions at:

Cordially,
Oz.
