[OPEN-ILS-DEV] JavaScript SpiderMonkey on FC6

[Joe Atzberger]

You may have to look out for a lock file that can be created.

In my case, (on Solaris) it was "lock_SunOS.s".  It will be based on your system OS, similar to the config file Jeroen 
mentioned.

The spidermonkey install was one of my least favorite parts of the overall job.
