Audacity Quit Unexpectedly

sulitjai · March 14, 2019, 8:09pm

Hello everyone!

Hoping someone can help me problem solve this: I’ve installed both Audactity and Lame, llocated LAME within Audacity and have reset the Audacity settings on the Mac. I must have missed something because every time I attempt to export a file as an MP3 the program quits unexpectedly.

Here is the "Problem Report: below.

Sincere thanks in advance for the help!

Cheers.

Well, I’ve never seen this before:

Dyld Error Message:
  Symbol not found: ___exp10
  Referenced from: /Library/Application Support/audacity/*/libmp3lame64bit.dylib
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

On my machine, I have the file libSystem.B.dylib in /usr/lib. Apparently, you don’t.

What Mac do you have and what version of macOS are you running?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your response. I’m using a MacBook Air with OS X Version 10.8.5.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers!

I don’t think that anyone in the Audacity team has Mountain Lion, so I doubt that we can do much about this unless we receive other reports of the same problem from other Mountain Lion users.

I’ll ask about this on the developer’s mailing list, but in the meantime there are some workarounds that come to mind:

If you don’t specifically “need” MP3 format, then use a different format.
If you do need MP3 format, then you could export from Audacity as WAV, and use another program to convert the WAV file into MP3 format.
Downgrade to Audacity 2.3.0. This is a 32-bit application, and requires the 32-bit version of LAME.
(The main difference between Audacity 2.3.1 and 2.3.0 is that the new version is a 64-bit application to support new versions of macOS).

I shall update this thread if I get any helpful information from the developers.
