[webkit-help] JSC: JSValueCreateJSONString

[Brian Barnes]

You were closer the first time.  What happened was I was using a compile that didn't have these features, so when I needed them, I put in a new framework.  Sadly, when I put it in, xcode (rightly so) erased my copy phase for the framework, so I was getting an older framework.

My compile is for 10.4, and now I have an actual non-null pointer for the function.

Thanks for all the help,

I've made this mistake before, and even trashed my OS by clobbering the system JavaScriptCore with my build in an effort to force things to link properly!  :-)
