Setup and Error
OS X 10.5.8
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Chandler 1.0.3 for Mac OS X (Intel)
When starting Chandler, I received a crash warning. Following
suggestions on the trouble shooting page did not help, the application
still crashed. Running Chandler from Chandler.app/Contents/MacOS/
ChandlerAPP, I received this in the console:
JavaVM: Failed to load JVM: /System/Library/Frameworks/
JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bundle/Libraries/libjvm.dylib
JavaVM FATAL: Failed to load the jvm library.
This turned out to be a problem with my Java Preferences. There were
no problems starting Chandler as administrator. It took some digging
and guess work. Java Preferences for Administrator were listed in this
order:
1.6 (64 bit)
1.5 (32 bit)
1.5 (64 bit)
In my account:
1.6 (64 bit)
This posting, http://blog.kischuk.com/2008/05/08/running-eclipse-on-macbooks-with-java-6/
, about eclipse suggests that there is a reference within eclipse to a
particular version of java.
This posting, http://forums.pentaho.com/archive/index.php/
t-62670.html, there is a comment about Java Preferences.
I changed /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
CurrentJDK to point to java 1.6 for some other software (JEdit I
think). At some point in the ever frustrating saga of java on OS X, I
unchecked the other versions of java available in Java Preferences.
By enabling 1.5 (32 and 64 bit), Chandler started.
Although this is a solution, it hints at a build problem. I have not
searched through the code nor tested the two options of java 1.5, but
if Chandler is looking for a particular version of java (actually a
library within a distribution) this sounds like something to change in
the build.
If I get around to the code, I will try to do some investigation.
