[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.6a - 18 Sep 24

supercylon

I'm running SketchUp 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11. I've downloaded and installed both LibFredo6 v4.3 and Round Corner plugin and both are not working. When I start up SU7 I get the error message: "Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String". I have no idea what this means. Can someone help?

Thanks a million!

Here is a screen shot of my plugins folder

Just in case, can you type ENV["TEMP"] in the Ruby Console and tell me what you see.

Thanks

I use
tempdir=ENV["TEMP"] ### it's a PC == 'TEMP' or 'TMP' tempdir=ENV["TMPDIR"] if not tempdir ### it's a Mac

This is what I use to detect temp path:

TEMP_PATH = File.expand_path( ENV['TMPDIR'] || ENV['TMP'] || ENV['TEMP'] ).freeze

TIG,

Actually, my mistake. Yes indeed, I use TMPDIR for Mac environment (or /tmp which may be more secure)

@supercylon
Can you type ENV["TMPDIR"] in the Ruby console

Hello Fredo,

Thanks for your assistance. I did what you asked and here is a screenshot of the result.

I didn't notice this message, here is the screen shot of the result of your second request.

I will release the change tomorrow as v4.3c

It is strange however that on your Mac, the TMPDIR Environment variable is not defined.

@TIG, Thomthom: I just use /tmp when TMPDIR is not defined.

@supercylon

Can you try withe attached file to see if your error disappear and SU starts OK.

EDIT: file removed. Now part of the release 4.3c, 31 Jan 12

Thanks

It's difficult for me to diagnose on this platform which I don't have.
I think there are a few users running Sketchup on Linux flavors, and they may help you to troubleshoot.

I ran into some trouble when I placed this plugin in the SU plugin folder. I thought this solution might help others.

"LibFredo6 4.3c - 31 Jan 12" is the name of the folder that I unzipped and I placed in my plugins folder. But that didn't work. You have to drag the contents of the "LibFredo6 4.3c - 31 Jan 12" folder (LIBFREDO6_Dir_43 and LibFredo6) out of that folder and put it in the plugins folder.

THanks so much for this wonderful plugin!!!

I would suggest you redo a clean installation and make sure you overwrite all existing files.

Just in case, can you type in the Ruby Console and report what you get:
Sketchup.find_support_file('LibTraductor.rb', "Plugins")

Hi, thank for your reply

my SU8 in plugin folder have not installed by LibFredo and curviloft before,
so I just put all unzipped libfredo and curviloft in my plugins folder,
after I redo to overwrite it, it result the same, it not load "lib traductor.rb

and here is I copy paste after I enter it on ruby console:
"Sketchup.find_support_file('LibTraductor.rb', "Plugins")
C:/Program Files/Google/Plugins/LibTraductor.rb"

edit: perhaps the lib traductor.rb crashes in the Google/Plugins folder?
I copy the "Plugins" folder from my friend notebooks and place it there.
I cut the lib traductor there and place it in SU8 plugins folder and the curviloft success to load...

but, where can I get "lib traductor.rb", there's no in lib fredo zip and curviloft zipped file installer right?

Actually you do not need LibTraductor.rb for Curviloft (it's only for backward compatibility that it is checked).

By the way, you seem to have a non-standard installation of SU8.

Normally, Sketchup folders are located in C:/Program Files/Google/**Google SketchUp 8**.
