Hi Chris and Mark,  
I’m trying to update to the latest nightly, but am having issues with compiling the labjack plugin. I was able to update from 0.8 to 0.9, but the issue seems to be specifically with the nightly. I’ve attached the error that I get on failed  
compile. Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting?  
Thanks,  
Lindsey.

Hi Lindsey,

Sorry, that’s a mistake on my part. You need to remove a file that shouldn’t be there. In Terminal:

```
sudo rm /Library/Application\ Support/MWorks/Developer/Xcode/macOS_CodeSigning.xcconfig

```

Once that’s done, you should be able to compile.

Chris

Great- I’ll give that a try.

Hi Chris,  
That worked- thanks.  
New problem: I’m trying to use the MWEL converter (it seemed like the  
easiest solution for using the layers that you proposed for the plaids),  
but I’m getting an error:

Could not find platform independent libraries

Could not find platform dependent libraries \<exec\_prefix\>

Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:\<exec\_prefix\>]

Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Thanks,  
Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,

Thanks for pointing this out. It’s not actually an error, just an irrelevant warning that I need to suppress. Regardless, mwel2xml and xml2mwel should work just fine.

Thanks,  
Chris

Hi Lindsey,

Both of these issues are fixed in the current nightly build.

Cheers,  
Chris
