Well, this turned out nicely. Now you can submit a patch pretty easily.

Yeah, I found the issue in the issue tracker which describes my problem and says there isn't a planned fix.

kellegous,
It does turn out that I’m using OS 10.3.9, so I guess that is probably my problem. The system requirements in the FAQ only said “OS X” so I had hoped that it would work with 10.3.9.

Hi Jacob,

Issue #300 was fixed for version 1.2.22. Are you trying to run hosted mode in OS X 10.3, by any chance? Unfortunately, there is no public branch for WebKit on 10.3 so we can’t support anything but 10.4 .

Ok. So I'm running Journalized HFS+, and you're right, it isn't case sensitive. Issue #300 says that a work-around for the issue is to "move the toolkit to a case insensitive fs" which according to what you've helped me figure out is what I'm already running. The question still remains, why am I having this problem?

HFS+ isn’t case sensitive on Macs, while UFS is:

[brucec@arwen brucec]$ ls aSdF ls: aSdF: No such file or directory [brucec@arwen brucec]$ touch asdf [brucec@arwen brucec]$ ls aSdF # on HFS: aSdF # on UFS: ls: aSdF: No such file or directory
