Sherm,
Thanks for the detailed reply. I have tried what you said, but am
still having the same problem.
1. In my framework, set "Installation Directory" to "@loader_path/../
Frameworks". I cleaned and built the framework again.
2. In my preference pane, I returned the "Framework search paths" back
to their previous (default?) value, cleaned, and built.
3. Using otool, I get the following for the framework itself:
@loader_path/../Frameworks/Myframework.framework/Versions/A/
Myframework (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
4. And for the preference pane:
@executable_path/../Frameworks/Myframework.framework/Versions/A/
Myframework (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
So it would seem that the install_path is not being copied over as you
indicated should happen. Any more ideas?
Thanks,
-Ryan

First, you need to build your framework with an install_path that
begins with @loader_path instead of @executable_path. Then, rebuild
your prefpane - the framework's install_path is copied into your
prefpane binary at link time, then at run time dyld uses the stored
value to find the framework.
I did see one suggestion (I don't recall who from) to add
@loader_path to your framework search path. That's just wrong.
@loader_path is not a compile or link time setting. Think about it -
how could it be expanded at compile time for a framework, when the
linker has no idea at that time what app (or pane) will be loading
the framework?
It doesn't seem like this should really be that hard
It's not really - you just need to keep in mind that changing a
framework's install_name is a two-step process. You also need to
rebuild your app (or pane), so that it gets the new install_name
copied into it from the updated framework.
