I think that I made them by running "find /path/to/Qt -name *.dylib --exec
strip \{\} \;" . That's probably not something you need to worry about; I did
it because of complaints about the download size. The easy solution for you is
to just make the path line up, but perhaps I should change the paths around on
my build machine.

Yes, obviously, since it did for you.
There's a fundamental conflict in the gnucash bundle between things that are
needed to make a distributable bundle and what an individual needs for a single
local installation. The wiki goes in one direction, the actual scripts go in
another. Lacking any indication that anyone is actually doing any building or
bundling, I haven't done anything with the wiki since the last time you bugged
me about it, but I have changed the scripts and modules to deal with complaints
about not having translations and to integrate external changes (like the new
version of ige-mac-integration). I'll put some time in today to get the wiki
reflecting everything I do to build the distribution. After all, if I get hit
by a bus tomorrow, it should be possible for someone else to take over the OSX
maintenance.
