Q: Shake doesn't start

Hey guys,

i have a shake 4.1.1 that doesn't open.
FCS2 is installed with all updates and running.

Error message: (from terminal)

tobis-mac-pro-2:~ tobi$ /Applications/Shake/shake.app/Contents/MacOS/shake

    Grüß, Tobias!

    Try removing:
    /Applications/Shake/shake.app/Contents/PlugIns/startup/ui/PFMatchUI.h
    and possibly something like:
    /Applications/Shake/shake.app/Contents/PlugIns/startup/PFMatch.h

    Note that, in order to look inside shake.app,
    you'll need to control-click the application and choose the menu item "Reveal Contents".
    Otherwise you can use UNIX commands in Terminal.

    Although there are plugins stored in this location,
    it is a very strange location for a third-party plugin, like PFMatch.
    Sounds like you may copied the application from another machine,
    rather than installing from the Install disk.

    Third party plugins usually go here:
    ~tobi/nreal/include/startup/
    and the UI file goes here:
    ~tobi/nreal/include/startup/ui/

    Tschüß,
    Les
