trouble running first script on Mac

Scripting Issues
1

Having trouble starting on my Mac. Using OS 10.5.7, new install of Panda, and Stani’s Python Editor (SPE) 0.8.4.h.
Tried basic script, and get an error when attempting to run it, as follows…

Macintosh:~ corbin$ python /Applications/Panda3D/1.6.2/myStuff/myScript.py
DirectStart: Starting the game.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Could it be that you have older versions of Panda installed that are conflicting, for example if you didn’t use the script to update the paths in your profile script?

I’m having the same problem first described:
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/Panda3D/1.6.2/lib/libpanda.dylib, 2): Symbol not found: __ZN6squish10DecompressEPhPKvi

I re-ran the paths script, and everything checked out. Still won’t load anything properly…
Any more ideas?
