JavaScript error - no libc
This is for error report 1569083439
I keep getting this in my error log:
[JavaScript Error: "Could not open system library: no libc" {file: "resource://gre/modules/osfile/osfile_unix_allthreads.jsm" line: 60}]
I'm using 4.0.17 on a macbook pro running 10.9
I also have apparently longer delays in zotero than many. I posted about this a few weeks ago, and it was partly solved by removing a large number of unnecessary notes. However, it is still relatively laggy (e.g., it takes 40 seconds to load when I first start up, and searches often take a few seconds; I have ~6500 entries). Perhaps the javascript error is related?

Out of curiosity, is this 10.9 or 10.9.2? If the former, you should upgrade. If you have any sort of security software, you can try disabling that. And while we pretty much never recommend it and it's unlikely to fix anything, you can try reinstalling Zotero Standalone.
Beyond that, the next version of Zotero Standalone might fix this, due to a change in the Mozilla framework — but this almost certainly isn't our bug, and it's unlikely we can do anything on our end to fix it.
"Sync attachment files in My Library..." under "File Syncing" (in the "sync" tab of the preferences)
When this is NOT selected, then the "Could not open system library: no libc" error does not occur.
Did you try the other things I mentioned?
I am using 10.9.2
Disabled virus checking (not happy about that)
Stopped using filevault (disk encryption that is an option in OS X)
I'll try reinstalling Zotero standalone...
Conflicts have suspended automatic syncing.
Click the sync icon to resolve them.
when I then clicked the sync icon again, it spun for a bit, but then hung again. After a bit it asked me to resolve a conflict (for only one item). After that, it synced fine.
However, when I re-enable "Sync attachment files in My Library..." it still reports that odd "Could not open system library: no libc" error.
So reinstalling didn't work either.
Perhaps I could export my library, remove all traces of zotero, reinstall from scratch, and the import my library back?
I haven't actually tried to see if the sync actually works. I assume not, because the sync icon only spins for a second before giving the error. I suppose I should try though..
