OSX Unable to have both libmecab and libMeCab (from mecab-java) due to case insensitive file system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install mecab
2. Install mecab-java

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expect to see libmecab.dylib from mecab
expect to see libMeCab.dylib from mecab-java

instead I see libMeCab.so from mecab-java (but we should have libMeCab.dylib)


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

mecab-0.996.tar.gz
mecab-java-0.996.tar.gz
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3

Please provide any additional information below.

You can create a dylib for mecab-java using:

g++ -dynamiclib -undefined suppress -flat_namespace *.o -o libMeCab.dylib


However because OS X is case insensitive, it isn't possible to have both 
libmecab and libMeCab (from mecab-java) due to case insensitive file system.  
Thus JNI loading will fail because you can't have both the real mecab and the 
JNI mecab existing at the same time.

Would officially recompiling and renaming the libMeCab.so to libMeCabJNI.dylib 
help?

I just wasted hours on this. Your suggestion works @GoogleCodeExporter thanks!
