I had put off downloading the j804 beta, but did that just now. Once the
download finished, I clicked on the zip file that produced a folder
"j64-804" - I dragged that folder to /Applications (I like to have j
available from any user login).I put my Unixy stuff in /usr/local/bin -
but I see that you have that and /usr/bin in your $PATH, so noproblems.
I run terminal on my desktop all the time, so here is a clip from
terminal after the above steps.

JVERSION
Engine: j803/2014-10-19-11:11:11
Library: 8.04.05
Platform: Darwin 64
Installer: J804 install
InstallPath: /applications/j64-804
I installed all the addons and everything seems to work as expected
(including plot producing a very nice PDF displayed by preview).
As I was typing this message, I noticed that your frustration might be
caused by a typo. You say you made a symbolic link with -
ln -s ~/j64-j804/bin/jconsole jc
but you may have meant ~/j64-804/bin/jconsole (that extra j would cause
problems...) hope this helps.

BtI successfully launched jconsole from the finder by clicking on the
file/.app jcon. That works fine.
Now I am exploring the possibility of starting jconsole from any Terminal
directory as described here.
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Installation/J804#Mac
After following the instructions to "... create a symbolic link ...", I
tried to start jconsole from the Terminal app. Below I have inserted some
of my attempts at starting jconsole. What am I missing, please?
server:~ brian$ jc
-bash: jc: command not found
server:~ brian$ pwd
/Users/brian
server:~ brian$ ls -l /usr/bin/jc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 brian staff 30 Jun 28 10:06 /usr/bin/jc ->
/Users/brian/j804/bin/jconsole
server:~ brian$ echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
When that did not work, I attempted to rewrite the suggested command in the
jwiki, changing it as follows and then issuing the sudo command. But got
the same result except that the "link" name changed.
from:
ln -s ~/j804/bin/jconsole jc
to:
ln -s ~/j64-j804/bin/jconsole jc
I also tried to enter the command `jconsole` in the Terminal, but that only
launched a Java app.
I also explored the following files.
server:~ brian$ ls -l /usr/lib/libedit*
