Eric,

I did a normal install of the latest Mac beta with no customization. I just uncompressed and moved; my J directory is ~/j601.

libjnative.jnilib is in the ~/j601 directory:

Michael-Mantis-Computer:~/j601 michaelmanti$ ls | grep lib
libjnative.jnilib
libjpcre.dylib

This is a brand new Intel Mac. (I included the specs in my original e- mail.)

I, too, was surprised that J worked. I assumed that the Mac version of J was PowerPC only. I decided to experiment, since I saw mention on the download/install page about the version of the Mac OS, but not of the Mac hardware. I assumed that I was going to need to use BootCamp and boot into WinXP in order to use J on this machine until you released a MacIntel native version. When it worked, I thought that perhaps Jsoftware was producing "universal binaries."

I look forward to the MacIntel native version.

The java error report indicates it can't find libjnative.jnilib. This is the c program that bridges between java and the J Engine (libj601.dylib).

I am curious about the Mac Intel. Is this one of the brand new Macs on an intel x86 chip? If so, I am surprised that anything works. The J Engine is a power pc binary and must be running in an emulator. Amazing that this works. Note that the libjnative.jnilib is also a ppc binary and would also need to be run under an emulator. The java may run with native intel load libraries and there may be a problem mixing them. There are lots of unknowns (at least for me) that will take time for us to sort out.

I've assumed you installed the Mac version of the J beta. Or did you install the Linux version? The fact that the linux intel J Engine binary would run is even more amazing than the emulator theory. Please confirm that it is the Mac version of J that you installed (or not).

The right longer term solution for us is to build a native Mac Intel verion. But that won't happen until at least after the offical 601 is out for all currently supported platforms.

If you have the time and interest you might do some research for us on the web. Is there information about macintel java and ppc binary dlls.

Another small difference is that you are running the latest java 1.5.0_06 and all our testing so far has been with the 1.4.x versions. For what it is worth, 1.5.0_06 worked without problems in the 64 bit version on linux 64.

Ensure that libjnative.jnilib is in your J directory (that is where the loader will look).

Please confirm that you did a normal install of the latest Mac beta with no customization. In particular that ~/j601 is the J directory.
