macOS Problems getting jsvc to run in Snow Leopard

[bemaniac]

I have installed Tomcat 6 and jsvc for Snow Leopard. Tomcat 6 seems to be able to start just fine, but jsvc starts, but then crashes.

When I check catalina.out, it says it's looking for "libjvm_compat.dylib", which doesn't exist. It looks like, on someone else's computer running Leopard, this file exists, but on Snow Leopard, it doesn't.

Is there anything I can do, either with the configuration of jsvc, or with my own JavaVM framework to get this to work?

It looks like the solution isn't just a matter of a config file or a command line parameter. We will probably need a new jsvc executable.

Hopefully this page comes up with an answer.

Patch is posted on the link in my previous post.

jsvc executable attached here for anyone that doesn't want to build their own. This copy has been tested on OS X 10.6 Client. I don't anticipate any issues with Server. No guarantees with this software, yada, yada, yada.
