Hello,

I've been getting problems with some of the apps from starting, and they all have this same log message,

Sep 29 03:13:16 XOXO-XOXO-Computer WindowServer[445]: ERROR! execle(/Applications/mlMac.app/Contents/MacOS/mlMac) returned, err=22

What does this mean? anyway to fix this?

Thanks... I can't figure this out...

I'm not sure what error 22 is. According to the execle man page:

Code:
ERRORS
     Execl(), execle(), execlp() and execvp() may fail and set errno for any
     of the errors specified for the library functions execve(2) and
     malloc(3).

I doubt your error is malloc() related (memory allocation), so the next place to look is execve man page 2. There I found this:

Code:
ERRORS
     Execve() will fail and return to the calling process if:

     [ENOTDIR]          A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

     [ENAMETOOLONG]     A component of a pathname exceeded {NAME_MAX} charac-
                        ters, or an entire path name exceeded {PATH_MAX} char-
                        acters.

     [ENOENT]           The new process file does not exist.

     [ELOOP]            Too many symbolic links were encountered in translat-
                        ing the pathname.

     [EACCES]           Search permission is denied for a component of the
                        path prefix.

     [EACCES]           The new process file is not an ordinary file.

     [EACCES]           The new process file mode denies execute permission.

     [EACCES]           The new process file is on a filesystem mounted with
                        execution disabled (MNT_NOEXEC in <sys/mount.h>).

     [ENOEXEC]          The new process file has the appropriate access per-
                        mission, but has an invalid magic number in its
                        header.

     [ETXTBSY]          The new process file is a pure procedure (shared text)
                        file that is currently open for writing or reading by
                        some process.

     [ENOMEM]           The new process requires more virtual memory than is
                        allowed by the imposed maximum (getrlimit(2)).

     [E2BIG]            The number of bytes in the new process's argument list
                        is larger than the system-imposed limit.  The limit in
                        the system as released is 20480 bytes (NCARGS in
                        <sys/param.h>).

     [EFAULT]           The new process file is not as long as indicated by
                        the size values in its header.

     [EFAULT]           Path, argv, or envp point to an illegal address.

     [EIO]              An I/O error occurred while reading from the file sys-
                        tem.

So, one of these is your error, but there is no mapping of codes to canonical names here. I suspect the problem is related to EACCES. Can you open a terminal and do the following:

Code:
ls -l /Applications/mlMac.app/Contents/MacOS/

Please post the result here. That may clear it right up.

Thanks so much for the info, I typed this in my terminal "ls -l /Applications/mlMac.app/Contents/MacOS/" and I got this back from it.

Is this what you're looking for? because it doesn't make any sense to me.

Please help...

Thanks,
