[digiKam-users] digikam won't open on mac

Jorge Rosa
Greetings;
Hope you are in a good.  I have an apple computer with os 10.10.5.  Installed de Digicam software and the following error apears.  

dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Metal.framework/Versions/A/Metal
  Referenced from: /opt/digikam/libexec/qt5/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets
  Reason: image not found (1005)

Please advise what could be the trouble.  
best regards
Jorge Rosa

 Hi,

Your error is due to Metal API from Apple unavailable on your MacOX version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_(API)

Metal is only public with MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra), and digiKam is
compiled with a backward binary compatibility with this release.
Previous MacOS version will not work.

Best
