Barry - Just installed V8.6.2 and it crashes on macOS 10.13.6. Install went fine but when I open a file, emacs just terminates. I'm back on 8.6.0 which is fine for me.

Could you take a look in ~/bemacs/bemacs.log to see if there are clues to the crash in there? I'll see if I can get my had on High Sierra to make a VM to test in. Barry

Attached the log file and the crash report. Hope there's useful information there. V8.6.2 runs fine on macOS 10.14.6. It's not urgent to fix it for High Sierra. Thanks, On Thursday, April 23, 2020, 02:19:47 PM EDT, barry <barry@...> wrote:

The logs are interesting. The crash is PyQt5/Qt5 code. It seems that the code detected a run time error and it trying to report it. I think the only way that I can have things work on High Sierra is to use old Qt libraries. But in the long run that will build up technical debt for the recent macOS releases. I have had no luck findout how to build a High Sierra VM to test with. Barry

Thanks for looking into the problem. It's an old machine so 8.6.0 is fine. No other problems with 8.6.2 on my other MBP. G
