That had me puzzled on a number of counts... First it warned me not to rely on the Mac utility Spotlight. It did not show anything for: libc.dylib. For: .dylib it shows a long list in which libc doesn't figure. So I made the assumption it was not something installed by the J701 gtk download, and had nothing to do with whether J worked correctly or not. But I guess Spotlight doesn't look in the (Mac) hidden folder: /usr . It does look in /Developer (an optional folder and therefore something not essential to the operational Mac OS) -- but it doesn't look hard enough.
Opening Terminal I get the following result: bash-3.2$ locate libc.dylib /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libc.dylib /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/lib/libc.dylib /usr/lib/libc.dylib The first two are alias files, pointing to originals in (respectively): /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib The last (/usr/lib/libc.dylib) is dated 22 Dec 2009 (when I installed Snow Leopard) and is in among a mass of working dylibs, ...so I guess it's what's being used for sockets. I cannot believe that the optional folder /Developers/ installed for developers only by special request from the Snow Leopard CDROM will contain the operational binary for an essential service (except as a replacement). @Patrick: does your internet browser work at all on your MacBook Pro?
