Check the install name of the copy of MyLib.dylib that you are linking against. The location to search for a library is chosen at build time. The linked-to library contains an "install name" which is the location where the library will be found at runtime. The built executable records the install name of everything it links to. The install name of the library is in turn specified when the library itself is built. Run `otool -lv MyLib.dylib` and look for the LC_ID_DYLIB load command to see the library's install name. My guess is that MyLib.dylib has a default install name of /usr/local/lib/MyLib.dylib. If you want to load MyLib.dylib relative to a Runpath Search Path then MyLib.dylib should be built with an install name of "@rpath/MyLib.dylib". Xcode now has built-in support for building and packaging embedded dylibs. You may want to reconfigure your project to use it. -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
