Hi,

I have been desperately trying to get Kate editor to work on my mac. I successfully managed to install kdesdk4 by following the instructions given for MacPorts.

However, when I try to run the following command:

launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

the terminal prompts this message:

nothing found to load

I then executed: sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE using my user name and that seemed to be fine.

When I try to go ahead and launch Kate using the command given below, it is about to start before crashing:

open /Applications/Macports/KDE4/kate.app

I tried launching other KDE applications too without much success. It would be very thankful if I could get some help here.

Thank you very much for your time.

I found a work around to fix the dbus command:

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

I finally have Kate working Still it seems to crash while using it. I wonder whats causing this to happen.
