It is hard to see how the J install sudo command (even with wild typos)
could cause the problems you report. There is some chance that there was
a totally unrelated hardware/OS failure that just happened to occur when
you typed that command.
Your report indicates you got "Illegal instruction" before you gave the
super user password. In that case no privileged command was executed and
it is more likely that the failure was an unrelated coincidence.
We'll help as much as we can. Please let us know how this problem
progresses. Right now my best guess is that you have a hardware/OS
problem that is unrelated to the J install.

Subject: [Jgeneral] Please help: installing j601c preventing MacBook
Profrom booting?
Any help with the following would be appreciated.
After typing
sudo mv j601/libj601.dylib /usr/lib/.
into the terminal--per
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/user/install.htm--Ireceived the message
Illegal instruction
My Mac was then unable to start up any new apps----even Terminal and
Application Monitor. So, I then attempted to reboot. Unfortunately, 20
minutes later, and my MacBook is still spinning its wheels. Fans are
whirring. The screen displays the Apple logo and the wheel that
indicate
start-up. But the process fails to reach the login screen. This is not
a
happy situation.
This is the first incident of this kind that I've experienced in my
four
years of owning Macs. Does anyone know of any solutions? Because I
can't log
into my system, I don't have the version numbers at hand, but I just
recently updated both Mac OS X and the firmware via Software Update,
so I'm
almost certainly running the latest versions.
Thank you in advance,
Michael Manti
