I’m using a late 2009 iMac 2.8Ghz quad i7 with 8GB running Yosemite 10.10.5. The main drive is a 250 GB SSD.
I’m a relative newby with Audacity but was using v2.1.0 for a couple of years. I updated to v2.2.0 this weekend and it would not run. It looks like it launches and then quits / aborts right away.
I downloaded 2.2.1 rc2 and it does the same thing.
Watching the Activity monitor, I never see Audacity in the CPU screen, but if I try to launch Audacity multiple times, I sometimes see it listed in memory screen for a few seconds.
I do not get a CRASH dump but here are a few lines from the log that I get:
