[How to] fix Rosetta (Crashing PPC Applications)

First of all you should check whether Rosetta is installed properly.

To do this, launch a Terminal & type:

/usr/libexec/oah/translate

If Rosetta runs fine, it should give this output:


If it doesn't work and says "Illegal instruction", "Bus Error" or something similiar, please try this:

1. Download this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html

2. As root, move /usr/libexec/oah directory somewhere safe for backup

3. unzip the downloaded file into /usr/libexec/

4. Enjoy PPC Applications!

--------------------------------------------
If you prefer using the command line:

Open Terminal,

sudo -s
cd /usr/libexec
cp -R oah oah.bak
rm -rf /usr/libexec/oah
cp -R ~/Downloads/oah .

If you don't like the teminal and want to do this with the Finder, do it like this

- Press Alt+Shift+G. Enter as path /usr/libexec/ (Command+Shift+G on a Mac Keyboard)
- search for 'oah' and open it
- double-click 'translate'. A window with the message should appear.

In case you have to replace 'oah' copy the old version to a safe place like Puttabong told. Now copy the new version into the directory. You have to enter your password. After this use the Disk Utility and repair the permissions.

Info: I don't tested it 'cause my Rosetta works. If somebody tries it post the results here.

A couple of weeks ago i encountered my first problem with rosetta when i wanted to setup my amd box to be used via apple remote desktop from my intel box. No-IP for mac is running on rosetta, i needed it and it was crashing. I fixed the issue with 'Rosetta fix', i believe, from Kalyway. Working flawlessly so far. Not sure upon what it's based on, but i think its a bit obsolete version(just checked -- its only translate fixed file in the pkg), fine working though. Will try this Puttabong for sure, thanks man.

Quad6600 2,4GHz
SATA Drives
ATI HD Radeon 3650 all enabled

Now i want to install the software from datacolor to calibrate my monitor with a spyder3pro but it crashes on every try
i learned now about PPC apps and Rosetta in the last 4 hours. so i downloaded the application "transmission" to see if its a rosetta issue... and i didnt succed to install transmission - installer crashed on startup

my console logged: BUS error (see attachment)


the install-error log logged:

- terminal check of translate is ok - no errors
Code:
Usage: /usr/libexec/oah/translate [-argv0 <file>] [-b] [-z <file>] <subject program> <subject arguments>

 Options:
	   -argv0
			  Override argv[0] for subject program execv, execve calls.
	   -b
			  Display the current baseline version.
	   -z <config file>
 Config file.

hi there,
since there was no reply i can post a new question.
i installed my system new with IPC 10.5.6 and was able to install my ppc-app that was not possible to be installed before.

when i updated to 10.5.7 and installed andys 9.6 kernel i tested the installer again... and now i cannot install it anymore.. so it has to be an update issue...

any clue on this ?
my ppc apps and some updates can now be not installed

regards bullys
