Brian,

The problem is IDV 5.0 is now running on Java 7 (bundled with the IDV
on OS X instead of relying the system OS X Java) which requires OS X
>= 10.7.  I am afraid you need to upgrade your OS X operating system
to at least 10.7 (which was released ~3 years ago).

We really have no choice here but to move in this direction.  Java 6
was end-of-lifed a year ago.

Will this be a problem for the workshop next month?

Best,
