Mac OSX 10.6 libpq.5.dylib
My application builds successfully in Xcode and runs without problems in my mac (running snow leopard 10.6.6) because I have properly installed the postgres 9.0 software.
But when I am trying to run my application in an other mac (that hasn't the postgres installed) I get the following error:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: libpq.5.dylib
Referenced from: /Volumes/Documents/Projects/Mac_Software/iMacProjects/macReport/build/Release/macReport.app/Contents/MacOS/macReport
Reason: image not found
My application bundle includes libpq.5.dylib into the Frameworks folder.
I faced similar problem with mySQL libraries and resolved them using the following commands in terminal:
install_name_tool -change /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libmysqlclient.16.dylib macReport
install_name_tool -change /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib macReport
I tryed to do the same with libpq.5.dylib but the problem remains.
If you have any idea how to solve this error please respond.
THANKS

There are two ways I know of to get that error:
- The dylib is being looked for at the wrong location, which is of course what the install_name_tool command is about. You need to understand what you're actually doing with that command, what the library dependencies actually are and so on, and make sure you're doing it right.
- The dylib might be located, but might not contain the correct architecture. You need to make sure you're building a fat lib that includes all architectures that your app will support.
