LibreLogo plugin doesn't work in Mac systems

Hi,

I'm letting use hundreds of students LibreLogo extensively on their
computers. No problems with Windows and most of Linux systems. However all
Mac users were not able to use LibreLogo.

The commands in the menu are actually working, so that you can move the
turtle and draw that way; however, as soon as you write a script and try to
run it, the turtle appear but nothing happens. Apparently, nothing is
executed, for instance even a print instruction is not executed.

I confirm this behavior with an old Mac hanging around in my lab: Mac OS X
10.6.8 and LibreOffice 4.3.7.2.
However, the students have a variety of configurations so that it seems a
pretty general problem of the Mac implementation.

I searched these lists and other places, apparently without finding a
solution.

Is there anybody having a hint?

Is there a security setting in Mac that needs to be flipped?
Something to allow the execution of scripts within applications.

Can the students create macros that run, from within LibO?

Alternatively, and not recommended unless:
* You like pushing your admin skills;
* The students are currently using R;
is to configure the _use R within LibreCalc_ option, and see what
happens.(This is a third party pseudo-extension.)

Thanks, it's a good point.

However, the students can create macros that run, from within LibO. Me too,
with my Mac OS X 10.6.8 and LibreOffice 4.3.7.2 configuration. For instance
I played around with
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/share/Scripts/python/pythonSamples/TableSample.py
and it's working fine.

I believe there is something else going on...

Hi Andreas,

I searched these lists and other places, apparently without finding a
solution.

Maybe one of the following already known bugs is relevant :
