dyld should log something to the console about a missing library when this occurs. Make sure the install name of the library is the same as the path where it can actually be found as well.

Yeah, I didn't need to quote it all.

I have a strange problem with all my Cocoa applications that use external .dylib libraries, which I add from /usr/local/lib to my Xcode project.

Within Xcode, the app runs as expected without errors, but when I double-click the executable in my build products directory, the app will not run. The icon will appear in the dock and disappear immediately thereafter, without generating any errors at the console.

Yet, if I right-click the executable in Finder and select "Show Package Contents", browse to the Contents/MacOS directory and double-click the unix executable file in there, a terminal pops up that launches the app, which then runs as expected.

If I do not instantiate the class that uses the functions in the external libraries, this problem does not occur. I have also tried other "Library Style" linking options (static, dynamic, bundle) and checked the corresponding paths for the libraries, tragets, etc., without any success.

Did someone experience a similar problem? Why is the app running when I click the "build and go"-button in Xcode or when I double-click the file within the executable's package directory Contents/MacOS, but not when I double-click the executable itself in the build directory?
