Has anyone used this with OS X yet? I installed it manually and haven't been able to get it to work yet.

It runs for me, but I have no tab completion. Puzzling.

Edit: scratch that. I have tab completion of things in the database, but not of paths! Much, much less usable than cd for going to places I haven't been before, which is probably half of my usage. Oh well.

You're still supposed to use cd to go to places you've never been to! Autojump is a complement to cd, not a total replacement.

You need to add following lines into your .bash_profile and restart Terminal.app.

    # Get the aliases and functions
    if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
      . ~/.bashrc
    fi

It works in OS X without any problems. I am using `zsh`.

Could it be because you haven't trained the database?

I think it should work on OS X, don't hesitate to contact me if you run into any problems.
