hello all,

Not sure if this fits in this forum, but this is definetly related to OS X.

here goes: In OS X 10.3.4, when I try to load some java app, it exits...
when I checked the system log, I can see the following: 'Failed to load the jvm library'

I tried browsing some web pages with java, and they display/work correctly.

I have a fresh install of the java 1.4.2 update 2, and have re-installed it, but the problem still persists.

Is there a reason for this behaviour?

what can I do? (hopefully not updating the OS)

TIA!

A simple check if java works is

1. open the terminal
2. type java -version <return>

This should produce output that makes sense.
But did I understand you correctly that you want to use java applets from a browser?

Then you need a browser plugin that connects the browser to the local vm. This may be only included in safari (though I did not test).

Try a well implemented java only app like jedit (www.jedit.org).

the result was:

java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.3)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)

I have no problems with java applets in the browser...
My problem is when opening fat (system) java apps...

Does this help?
