its trying to find libssl.0.9.8.dylib from , /Users/mturk/workplace/jbossnative-trunk/build/unix/cache/common/macosx-x86/lib/ , Which I dont think it will be able to find..but how to resolve it?

done guys..its done..and here are the steps to do this:

1) Install the latest version of MacPorts.

http://www.macports.org/

2) Quit and Reopen your Terminal program. From the Terminal, enter:

sudo port install tomcat-native

3) From the Terminal program, make symbolic links from the /opt/local/lib/libtcnative-1.* to /usr/lib/java:

sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libtcnative-1.* /usr/lib/java

Restart Tomcat and hurray..enjoy!!!!!

1)download JBoss Native 2.0.6 MacOSX x86 from
http://jboss.org/jbossweb/downloads/jboss-native/

2) copied- jboss-native-2.0.6-macosx-x86-ssl/bin/META-INF/lib/macosx/x86/*.dylib to JBOSS_HOME/bin/native.

3)Copy
jboss-native-2.0.6-macosx-x86-ssl/bin/META-INF/lib/macosx/x86/engines, directory
to JBOSS_HOME/bin/native/engines

4)Copy jboss-native-2.0.6-macosx-x86-ssl/bin/META-INF/bin/macosx/x86/openssl
to JBOSS_HOME/bin

5) edit run.sh (vi run.sh), Add following lines under "# Setup JBosst Native library path", part of the script:

JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR="$JBOSS_HOME/bin/native"
if [ -d "$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR" ]; then
 if $cygwin ; then
 export PATH="$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR:$PATH"
 JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR=`cygpath --dos "$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR"`
 fi
 if [ "x$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" = "x" ]; then
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR"
 else
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
 fi
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
if [ "x$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" = "x" ]; then
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR"
 else
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
 fi
 export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
 if [ "x$JAVA_OPTS" = "x" ]; then
 JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR"
 else
 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=$JBOSS_NATIVE_DIR"
 fi
fi

The lines in bold font has to be added to the script.

6)Restart your application server, Verify for the following message:

Hurray..done..
