Hi,

I am currently testing the current 0.8 beta on my OSX development =
machine and when cassandra is starting up i am seeing errors from the =
JNA code as below.


john@balorama bin $ sudo -u cassandra ./cassandra -f
Password:
 INFO 00:04:18,013 Logging initialized
 INFO 00:04:18,027 Heap size: 2126512128/2126512128
 INFO 00:04:18,078 Unable to link C library. Native methods will be =
disabled.

...

=46rom here Cassandra continues to run, however, without native method =
support.


I have tested running Cassandra as root, the logged in user and the =
cassandra user along with the most recent JNA and a version compiled =
from trunk. I have also tried running cassandra with out any of the =
start up scripts and still the same error, simple tests where by i have =
removed the CLibrary class and code that causes the fault seem to allow =
the c library to be linked.=20

I am about to build a version from source to add in some stack traces =
where the error is handled but was wondering if anyone else has seen =
this.=20


Thanks
John
