Does JBoss run on MacOSX ? @#$$#&

[chris3001]

I'm running MacOSX 10.2 with the jsdk1.3.1 .. If I use the run.sh, from JBoss3.0.2, it doesn't start up jboss and fails with an error claiming that there are multiple symbol definitions for _JNI_Lookup in several of the java dynld files located under the java frameworks directory. It also complains about the tools.jar file but this should not be a problem on MacOSX since the javac compiler and is there and probably contains the compiler classes in one of java dynld libs.

I installed the MacOSX 10.2 update over an existing 10.1.5 installation. Could this have been a problem?

It seems other people have had different errors than I have or have been more successful on running it on MacOSX. What is it that I need to do in order to get it to run??????

I don't know anything about MacOSX, but I know how frustrating it can be to try and get things going. Much of the help I used was from different platforms, so I figure I'd try to help anyway.

I'm wondering what JDK you're running. You said 1.3.1, but is it 1.3.1_00 or _02? If so, try 1.3.1_04. I've seen several wierd (and fatal) problems go away for myself and others with that upgrade.

Other things I'd try would be to make sure your environment variables are all squared away. You may find one of the following links helpful:

Good luck, if you figure out what it was please share so others can benefit too.

JBoss worked very well for me on OS X 10.1.5.

Do you use the following values?

setenv JDK_HOME /Library/Java/Home
setenv JAVA_HOME $JDK_HOME

I have just upgraded to Jaguar, and have not tested extensively there yet.
