Ok, jr is a simple shell script that works with the linux and
solaris boxes I have used, if it causes problems for you either fix
it (patches are welcome) or start rabbit with the
"java rabbit.proxy.Proxy" command.  That jr outputs some errors may
not mean that rabbit has not started....

Odd, That happens very early in the setup and is a thing that should
not break (unless another application is listening on that port
already).

Have you tried another port? you can set the port in rabbit.conf.
Do you have another application that uses that port or an already
started RabbIT?

I assume that you are trying to run rabbit/2.0.29?
If so can you add a line to the catch-block in line 308-311 in
Proxy.java, so that it looks like:

	    catch (IOException e) {
		logError (FATAL, "Failed to open serversocket on port " + port);
		e.printStackTrace ();
		System.exit (-1);
	    }

Are you runing with the linux emulation layer or is this jdk a
freebsd native port?
