[GIS] “QGIS quit unexpectedly” at startup on Mac

qgisqgis-plugins

I am having for a few months an issue with QGIS on my mac. Every time I start the program, QGIS crash with “QGIS quit unexpectedly”. The program starts only once I select “Reopen” in the message box. This is not dramatic but a bit annoying…

I have been using QGIS for a while on this laptop, and I suspect that the problem comes from the fact that I still have some traces of previous versions that are conflicting.

I already tried several things:

  • Reinstall QGIS
  • Remove all the plugins
  • Remove the content of .qgis folder

These steps did not solve the problem and I am now out of ideas.

My config: MAC OS 10.11.5 QGIS 2.18

"WARNING: QGIS will crash if Qt4 developer components are installed in the standard /Developer location. Either rename /Developer/Applications/Qt/Plugins or uninstall Qt before running QGIS."

This was the reason why QGIS was crashing, now it works normally.

Thanks for your help!
