This means that it can't loacte the parameter file. Are you running it from within XCode, or from the command line?

I'm running it from Xcode. I also checked whether the camera_para.dat was in the Bin/data directory and it is. Must I copy it somewhere else? I have the artoolkit folder sitting on my desktop.

many thanks

You will need to edit the working directory path for each executable you wish to run from within XCode.

It says this in the readme.

Attached are some graphical illustrations of how to do this.

1) Open the executable you wish to set the working directory for. In this case, simpleLite. Open by double-clicking.

2) In the box, under the setting labelled "set the working directory to" click the radio button labelled "custom" and in the box type the path to the bin/ directory of your ARToolKit installation.

Hurray! It's working, now I'm really psyched and want to explore.
One of these days I'm sure I'm come back with a question or two.
Many thanks Phil,
