> Is anyone else using the JavaBridge from IDL on Mac OS X?
I helped a co-worker set up the IDL-Java Bridge on OS X a couple weeks
ago and it is working for him. It is possible!

That shouldn't be necessary. Once you place a .idljavabrc file in the
root of your directory, you should be good to go.

Full paths are always best when trying to debug a problem. You can find
out if $JAVABRIDGE_DIR is defined by issuing the following command:
echo $JAVABRIDGE_DIR
If it is defined, you'll see the value. If not, you'll see a blank line.

That's because Macs don't have a libjvm.so file. Search for a file in
your Java directories that starts with "libjvm". I forget what the
filename extension is for OS X, but it's not ".so" -- the extension for
libjvm is whatever OS X uses to denote a system library.

If you still have problems, just ask. I should be able to get the
config files my co-worker is using.
