Existing users, 
Seems that this was compiled with a hardcoded link that should have been fixed. When I try to launch it, I get this error:
dyld: /Applications/HippoDraw1.14.3/hippodraw.app/Contents/MacOS/hippodraw can't open library: /Users/rdm/root/lib/libCore.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Since I don't have a user named rdm on my machine, my guess is that that is the username for the person who compiled this package.

See the included README or visit http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/B1098370398/C61549444/E361644811/index.html for a description on how to assign the environment variables needed by HippoDraw.Thursday, June 30 2005 @ 04:44 PM PDT
Problem with this installation - slartibart
I'm sorry - this slipped through my testing because I use hippodraw mainly from python. The error message originates from the persons installation who did the ROOT compilation. I just did an installer for the "official" MacOSX binary distribution. The error shows that the Path assignment for loading dynamic libraries does not include the root-libraries directory. For a quick check:1.) start a terminal
2.) assign the environment variables for ROOT - if you use tcsh like me its:
setenv ROOTSYS /opt/root/pro
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/root/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv PATH /opt/root/bin:$PATH
if you use bash :
export ROOTSYS=/opt/root/pro
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ROOTSYS/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ROOTSYS/bin
3.) try to start hippodraw from the same shell with
open /Applications/HippoDraw1.14.3/hippodraw.app
Does this work? I assume "yes" as a reply. =8) Now the problem is to extend the MacOSX system library path for this libs - needed if you start an application by clicking its icon.
1.) Start your preferred texteditor *a real textEDITOR, like: textwrangler, alpha, etc.* or use Apple's Property List Editor
2.) open the file environment.plist in the .MacOSX folder in your home directory (~/.MacOSX/environment.plist).
3.) extend the content using the texteditor to:
<?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>DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH</key>
<string>/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/root/lib</string>
<key>PATH</key>
<string>/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin</string>
<key>ROOTSYS</key>
<string>/opt/root/pro</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Using Apple's Poperty List Editor create a new child DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH . Class type is String. Value should include /opt/root/lib. Similiar introduce ROOTSYS and assign its path. Save the changes to the file.
4. Log out. (!)
5. Relogin in.
6. Start hippodraw by clicking its icon…
