As I read the code, this all happens at runtime (see runtime/parrot/library/SDL.imc) -- the loadlib op there (eventually) calls dlopen() on your platform. Whatever you have to do on Mac OS X to identify paths to dynamically loadable libraries, you probably have to do that. If I were to guess, I would check the value of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. It could be that Parrot doesn't add the '.dylib' extension where it should, but my first guess is to see if dlopen() can find the library appropriately. -- c
