[OPEN-ILS-DEV] JavaScript SpiderMonkey on FC6

[Natasha Stephan]

Hi Jeroen,
Okay, I think I understand now!  Your instructions are for installing js by hand, right?
I installed js with yum, and so I am pretty sure that it is installed.  I found it in /usr/bin.  So I don't need to compile anything myself...
Thanks,
Natasha
