Hmm - I don't know much about aliases, I'm a UNIX head that just happened to have helped a friend get Orion running under OSX. :)
Glad to know that works for ya! -----Original Message----- From: Pauline McNamara To: Orion-Interest Sent: 12/30/01 1:27 PM Subject: Re: RE Orion on Macintosh OSX setup Thanks Aaron, just got a bunch of practice with symlinks along the way to getting Orion set up ;) Not quite sure that what I did is actually the key, nor if I did it exactly right, but here's the story in case others might benefit from it: Located in the orion directory, I used the ln -s command like this: ln -s System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVMFramework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Classes/cl asses.jar tools.jar This created not a file, but an alias folder named tools.jar in the orion directory. In the OS's Finder program, double clicking on the folder gave an error message stating that it couldn't be opened because the original item could not be found. I put this folder in the trash. Afterwards Orion worked, but it may have been for other reasons. Could it be that the symlink still exists, even if there isn't an alias for it? Thanks for the tips, it's encouraging just to know that these kinds of things are being done successfully with OSX (didn't have to go out and buy a PC, yet).
