I downloaded the latest LTSpice IV for mac OS, I'm running mojave on a MBP. It is crashing in my setup, apparently as soon as it opens the plot window. The simulation starts running, but when it's ready to plot and opens the plot window, crashes.

EDIT >>> This happens regardless of the model simulated, existing or new, even a simple AC source makes it crash.

Is anyone else experimenting this issue?

The error report says (I paste what I think is relevant):

PS: Yes, finally Analog has released an LTSpice IV version for mac. The download page says 2016 but actually it's a release from 2018. See this question. How do I update LTspice IV for macOS? Among other things it fixes the "xx days old, please update" problem.

  • Looks like something to let Mike know (the creator of the program), it might be a legit bug. On Windows, the email address to send to is in `Help > About`, maybe it's the same on MacOS. Be sure to make the email short and concise, don't use too many words where a few can do it -- he's known for his temper, which is partly justified. – a concerned citizen Oct 12 '18 at 06:16
  • Please make your title and body consistent, crashed and hangs are two different situations. Also specify if this happens regardless of design, or else document the deck being simulated when this occurred.. – Chris Stratton Oct 12 '18 at 08:20

    Thanks, I'll send email from Help. Also edited title to reflect it crashes and text to specify that it happens regardless of model. – Undertalk Oct 12 '18 at 11:21

I had the same error and I emailed Mike yesterday and he replied saying there are many problem with Mojave and he fixed the major bug about macOS mojave. I updated my LTspice and it is working fine now. Maybe you want to try to update using "operations" and choose "software update". Hope that will solve your problem.
