Thanks for the quick response guys,
I am using jdk 1.5, and am ensuring use of this jdk by typing the
full path.
As regards doing an 'unzip -l' on the file it indeed generates an
error..
/usr/local/lib rossputin$ unzip -l libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib
Archive: libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is
not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In
the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be
found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib may be a plain executable, not an
archive
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of
libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib or
libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib.zip, and cannot find
libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib.ZIP, period.
oh dear.. maybe this is corrupt?
A 'jar tvf' generates no output, once again indicating that the file
is not a valid jar,
regards,
Ross.

Maybe

Perhaps ... but this seems like an awfully strnage exception to get
if the
problem were that it can't find the compiler...

...he said that /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib did in fact
exist. (I would expect a class not found or an attempt at opening
a file
that doesn't exist in the other case)
I don't really know much about Java on Macs, or what a "dylib" file
is ...
but the exception seems to indicate that it's expecting to find a
Zip file
(possible a jar?)
Ross: does "unzip -l" or "jar tf" on
/usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.0.0.0.dylib work for you?
