Hi Lenore,

Can you just try something for me on your Mojave system?

In a Terminal window type the command:

    ll /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Versions

The command is said as "ell ell", short for "long list". On my system (High Sierra) I \
get output:

    drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel  256  5 Apr 18:50 A/
    lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    1 19 Nov  2017 Current@ -> A

My guess is that, on Mojave, there will be an extra line, listing directory B/, and \
Current will point to B.

Please also try the command:

    ls /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Versions/Current/Headers

I get output:

    MacOSX_OALExtensions.h  al.h
    OpenAL.h                alc.h

meaning that the file "al.h" is there to be found.

What output do you get? My guess is that "al.h" will not be there on your Mojave \
system.

Cheers, Ian W.
