You don't need to install anything. We use a shell script in such a  
way since gvSIG 1.1 I think; you can see it at gvSIG.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/preJava . As the name suggests, it is a script which is run  
before calling the original JavaStub, so we have the chance to set the  
needed environment variable for PROJ4.

Without more details, I can't imagine what can be wrong with your  
script. Maybe the .sh extension? (strange). Take a look at said  
preJava script and its corresponding Info.plist; if it still doesn't  
work, please let me see that part of your bundle.
