All,
Just to follow up, I stopped by Kevin's office. To make a long (long)
story short, there was confusion with the Java version (1.6 vs 1.7)
between the admin user and "regular" user. In the end, we simply edited
the runIDV script to explicitly point to the correct version of Java.
(The IDV cannot run with Java 1.7 on OS X, yet.)
For those interested in the gory details...
Inexplicably, the admin Java version supersedes the regular user Java,
even when installing the IDV in the regular user's home directory. This
problem is manifested only when the IDV runs from the icon *not* in the
terminal which made this problem difficult to track down. In short, you
are not in the same environment when running from the icon versus the
terminal. (Other oddities: /usr/bin/java -version returns a different
version depending on which user you are.) This was a tough nut to crack.

Hi Kevin-
Then it sounds like the script that runs runIDV from the IDV
application:
<top installdirectory>/IDV_4.0/IDV.app/Contents/MacOS/run_script
isn't picking up the extensions. I'll let you and Sean figure it out
over a beer. ;-)

Hi Don,
That's the odd thing - when I run the runIDV script by hand there
are no
errors and everything comes up as it should.
Yes, I installed the IDV as an admin (and clicked the box to install
JOGL) to install for all users.

It sounds like a Java 3D issue. Did you install the JOGL for all
users or just for your user id? If the latter, are you running IDV
from the same account? If you open a terminal window, cd into the
installation directory and run the runIDV script by hand. That way you
should see any error messages print to the screen.

Hello!
I am having a problem launching the IDV (both v4.0 and v3.1u1)
from the
launch icon on Mac OSX 10.8.2.
When launching from the icon, the splash screen comes up and then the
Data Chooser window. But the splash screen never goes away and the
Display Window never appears.
When I run the script /Applications/IDV_4.0/runIDV from a
terminal, it
works properly.
I am running the following version of java:
java version "1.6.0_41"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_41-b02-445-11M4107)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-445, mixed mode)
I could certainly use the IDV launching from a terminal, but the
launch
icon is more handy.
Any other Mac users having similar issues?
Warmest Regards!
-kevin.
