IDE Crashes during uploads versions 21, 22 OSX 10.6.5-6

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

trying to upload any sketch to a mega2560 that has been uploaded to successfully a couple of days ago

I never see the TX or RX lights go on the mega, the IDE just closes without a message

Anyone up for a mystery?

This is excerpt from the report

Update, I've tried it with a known-good duemilanove as well, its not the boards, two different USB chips.. Good software mystery

In the Console application (system log), do you see any RXTX messages when you start the Arduino software? Do you have a copy of an RXTX jar (e.g. comm.jar or something with RXTX in the name) or native library (librxtxSerial.jnilib, I think) anywhere? It might be a conflict between the Java part of the RXTX library and the native part.

You got it,

Now I'm not really sure how to specify which one to use ( delete the other? )

And I'm also not sure which to specify, once I figure out how to do that

I'm working on it on this side and will post an update if I get it figured out

I think I've narrowed it down to a driver that the reprap host software installs, here is a log of it installing, I've found a couple of the files it has installed and moved them to trash but it hasn't helped

On second or third thought, I can remove all of that package ( i think ) and it dosen't fix it, I've tried reinstalling arduino multiple times, can't reinstall java on osx...
