Hi James

Well here is what I've done. The final change to @executable_path didn't happen. I've enclosed my Terminal output so perhaps I've made a mistake or didn't have enough luck. Hope you can set me straight.

libquicktime.0.0.0.dylib from PiDiP is 1.2 Meg from Mar 18 2004 with 2 aliases libquicktime.0.dylib and libquicktime,dylib
libquicktime.0.dylib is from Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app is 376K from Feb 12 2006

Here's list of what I tried:

Using terminal I moved libquicktime.0.0.0.dylib from PiDiP to Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app then:

.../sw is fink specific, and really isn't germaine here, as the whole
point of the extended builds is to include everything in a portable
manner...unfortunately, we're dealing with a libquicktime versioning
problem...

...ok, here's one more thing to try: I believe you mentioned that
you had downloaded the pidip libs from yves' site, so we should be
able change that libquicktime.dylib to something you can use...if you
have the developer tools installed, you can do the following from the
directory that contains your Pd-0.38-4-extended-RC8.app:

cd Pd-0.38-4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/lib/
otool -L libquicktime.0.dylib

...at this point you should see a list of libraries that the dylib is
linked against...if you see anything beginning with "/sw", then we
need to tell it to look elsewhere, like the following:

install_name_tool -change /sw/lib/libquicktime.0.dylib
@executable_path/../../lib/libquicktime.0.dylib libquicktime.0.dylib

...you can then rerun "otool -L libquicktime.0.dylib" to confirm that
it's changed...if this works, then try running pd again, and see if
that helps: this may not work because we don't know if the version
of gcc that these individual files were compiled and linked with is
the same...

good luck,
james
