I need a little bit of help on how to specify search paths for dynamic libraries in an application bundle.

I am using a dynamic library which is loaded with dlopen(). This works fine when I start the application from the command line and has added the path of the library to the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you need to play with environment variables, it's not working fine - you've just found a workaround for the problem. :-)


What you need to do is specify an install_name for the library that's relative to the application binary. If you're using libtool, the option you want to use is:

	-install_name @executable_path/lib

If you're using Xcode to build your library, you want to specify the "Installation Directory" in the "Deployment" pane of the target properties. (Not to be confused with the "Deployment" build configuration...)
