Hi,

I am trying to install on MacOS Sierra. I believe that I have followed all the steps correctly, but the install is failing with the following error: 

Help appreciated!

Thanks,
Christina

If you look into the documentationa at:

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html#unix

you will see that for Linux (as well asl MacOS) you need the libssl-dev packaged to be installed. There are many ways to install this on MacOS, I personally use the MacPorts distribution:

https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=openssl

If the older elog has some customized file such as logbooks, elogd.cfg, elog.css, images and so on,  What's the best way to update elog to newer release? Is it the only way to copy these files to the new release?

Make a backup of all you files, then install the new version over the old one, keeping all customizations, then restart elog.

Oops!

I think that I must have skipped straight to the MacOS notes instead of reading the linux section properly.

Thanks for the help,

Christina

Well, the MacOS section explicitly mentions the MacPorts installation.

I responded too quickly.

I already have openssl installed via macports (this is the "Mac version" of libssl-dev).

Does anyone know where exactly elog is looking for openssl/ssl.h? I have just updated Macports and upgraded to Sierra, so maybe it's been dumped it in a different location.

Hello users,

When I configure an attribute with "Type <attribute>= date", in the new entry form a clic on the calendar symbol does nothing.

Reading the source code I see it's trying to open a window named "cal.html" through javascript (function opencal) but this file doesn't exist anywhere in source elog files.

Thanks
