I'm on a 1.67 Ghz PowerPC G4 powerbook running 10.4.7. I'm trying to

run Max 4.6 and FTM 1.7.7 Beta, but everytime I double click the fmat

object to view it, it freezes. Has anyone else had this problem?

FWIW, this sounds like it might be related to having a problematic OS 

X java installation, which has been an mxj issue in the past.

Does the same thing happen if you simply instantiate mxj with a valid 

java class? If so, then it would suggest you need to update your java 

installation. If not, then it is most likely something else.

You need to copy the WHOLE ftm folder somewhere onto your disk, 

declare in the Max preferences where ftm is located and then double 

click on 'FTMInit.command' which will set the right path for 

Otherwise, it works by hand by changing the path in the 

max.java.config.txt file. Set 'max.system.class.dir' with the place 

'max.java.config.txt' is in /Library/Application Support/Cycling

click on 'FTMInit.command' which will set the right path for  
'ftmjava.jar'.

where you have 'ftmjava.jar' located.

'max.java.config.txt' is in /Library/Application Support/Cycling  
'74/java/

That's all correct, but it's still freezing when I double click to see

the fmat. Didn't do it on 4.5. I'll try to reinstall FTM, but I'm

sure I did it right. Any help would be great.

That's all correct, but it's still freezing when I double click to see
the fmat.  Didn't do it on 4.5.  I'll try to reinstall FTM, but I'm
sure I did it right.  Any help would be great.

i'm using 1.7.7 on a macbook with many crashes also(most of the gabor 

but i can double click on fmat's and the gui works.

No, it's fine with mxj. I've gotten to work, when I double click the

fmat, it freezes up, and then after about a min or two, the screen

comes up. Is that maybe a file location or search path issue?
