Description

After following the directions posted here (http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html) I am unable to start up jsvc. Starting Tomcat 6 works just fine.

When I attempt to start jsvc, it immediately exits with the following error:

02/09/2009 16:46:42 30987 jsvc error: Cannot load required shell library /Library/Java/Home/../Libraries/libjvm_compat.dylib
02/09/2009 16:46:42 30986 jsvc error: Service exit with a return value of 1

Looking in my frameworks, it looks like "libjvm_compat.dylib" doesn't exist in Snow Leopard's installations of JDK 1.5 and 1.6. It looks like the reference to this file is made in java.c, but I'm not sure what to change this to. When changing it to simply "libjvm.dylib", I get this error:

03/09/2009 16:20:45 594 jsvc error: Cannot find JVM library entry point
03/09/2009 16:20:45 593 jsvc error: Service exit with a return value of 1

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
