If you have the very latest version of the program cdparse (May 2010) this problem should not arise.
However, the environment variables need to be set for the correct operation of the CDP soundfiling system
So, read on ...
A much simpler way to set up the MAC environment variables will soon (August 2010) be implemented.
The following information refers to the previous regime.
In the following description
You should substitute the actual name of your home directory for HOME.
The description assumes you are running in a folder called _cdp inside your HOME directory.
If not, you should change the directory paths appropriately.
If you are using "aiff" files, you should substitute "aiff" for "wav" in the following description.
To set up the environment variables from a tcsh shell..
Create a textfile, in your HOME directory, with the name .tcsh (the dot is essential).
There must be two lines in this file . These are....
set path=($path /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/User/HOME/_cdp/_cdprogs)
setenv CDP_SOUND_EXT wav
Be sure to use spaces only where they are shown.
Alternatively, to set up the environment variables from a bash shell..
Create a textfile, in your HOME directory, with the name .bash_profile (the dot is essential).
There must be two lines in this file . These are....
set PATH=$PATH:/User/HOME/_cdp_/cdprogs
export CDP_SOUND_EXT=wav
Be sure to use spaces only where they are shown.
It is also essential to get the MAC to recognise textfiles-with-extensions.
To do this ...
Inside the HOME directory, create (if necessary) a directory called .MacOSX (the dot is essential).
Inside the .MacOSX directory, create a textfile called environment.plist
The file must contain the following 8 lines.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0/EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CDP_SOUND_EXT</key>
<string>aiff</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Note that the 2nd line (<!DOCTYPE .... to .... PropertyList-1.0.dtd">) must be a single long line.
