integration with Word 2008 on OS X
Hi all,
I have installed the browser version of Zotero in Firefox 18.0.2 on OS X 10.6.8. However, the installation of the Word plugin gives me the following error message no matter how I install it:
| Zotero Word for Mac Integration
|
| Installation could not be completed because an error occurred.
|
| [Exception... "'launch path not accessible @[install:install.m:189]'
| when calling method: [nsIRunnable::run]" nsresult: "0x8057001e
| (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame ::
| resource://zotero-macword-integration/installer.jsm :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: | line 67" data: no]
The plugin appears to be installed in Firefox's "Addons" as version 3.5.6. Clicking the "Preferences" associated with this pops up the Zotero preferences Cite panel where it says, "The Zotero Word for Mac add-on is not currently installed." and it has the installation button, which will lead to the above error message again.
I've tried installing this in the standalone Zotero with similar results.
It sounds like a permission problem somewhere and I thought about manually copying the Applescript files to the appropriate directory (Documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items/Zotero/) if I could find them in the source repository: https://github.com/zotero/zotero-word-for-mac-integration
However, it seems Zotero trashes the contents of that directory every time I restart Firefox, so it would probably be better for me to do it some less kludgy way.
I would really appreciate it if someone could offer me a solution or point me where to go toward a solution.
Regards,
John

which osacompile
and pressing return. If it exists, you should see "/usr/bin/osacompile" on the next line. If it doesn't exist, you'll be returned to the prompt.
Any suggestions where I can download it now? I have XCode 3.2, but would I get osacompile with a newer (or fuller) install from the Apple Developer Center? Or can I solve the problem some other way because I would have thought most Mac users did not have the Developer Tools installed since it's extra? Ideally, I would like to avoid updating to a newer XCode because the newer ones break some important C++ packages I have written (they switched from gcc to LLVM I believe).
Thanks for any suggestions, and best regards,
John
