Probably an install_name_tool step missed? The python qgis libs' linking is a bit tricky, and @executable_path is probably not a good method to use. It would have to be relative to the python executable in /Library/Frameworks which is outside the Qgis bundle, which would make Qgis.app non-relocatable. @loader_path would be better (ie @loader_path/../../../../lib/libqgis_core.dylib) - it's relative to the library or program loading the library referenced. BUT, this is a Tiger-only feature, so this would make Python Qgis features Tiger+ -only. AND, the Qgis plugins would then also have to use @loader_path. Thus making all of Qgis Tiger+ -only. For a basic Qgis build, with all Qt frameworks and PyQt/SIP ''outside'' the Qgis bundle, here's what I came up with: * bin * msexport.app/Contents/MacOS/msexport * qgis_core -> @executable_path/../../../../lib/ * qgis_gui -> @executable_path/../../../../lib/ * qgis_help.app/Contents/MacOS/qgis_help * qgis_core -> @executable_path/../../../../lib/ * lib * libqgis_gui * qgis_core -> @loader_path/ * libqgisgrass * qgis_core -> @loader_path/ * qgis [plugins] * all * qgis_core -> @loader_path/../ * qgis_gui -> @loader_path/../ * qgis [app] * qgis_core -> @executable_path/lib/ * qgis_gui -> @executable_path/lib/ * share/qgis/python/qgis * core, gui * qgis_core, qgis_gui -> @loader_path/../../../../lib/ Executables (qgis, msexport, qgis_help) should use @executable_path. Libraries should use @loader_path. " defect closed major: does not work as expected Version 1.0.3 Build/Install Trunk fixed telwertowski@… Yes OS X 0
