Re: problem installing ppsp on Intel Mac

[John Darrington]

Fromm what I remember when I tried it, Mac OS, in its wisdom, uses a different
environment variable.  I think it's called DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DY_LIBRARY_PATH
or something similar.

     In a fit of pique, I decided to forego Macports and install the "Evolution
     Beach" packaged version of pspp from the ppsp website.  I ran the
     installer and it installed fine, but after I created a basic .syn file, I
     couldn't get ppsp to run it:
     
     John:/Users/jpollock% /opt/local/bin/pspp myfile.syn
     dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
       Referenced from: /opt/local/libexec/pspp/pspp
       Reason: Incompatible library version: pspp requires version 7.0.0 or
     later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 5.0.0
     /opt/local/bin/pspp: line 4: 11918 Trace/BPT trap
     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pspp /opt/local/libexec/pspp/pspp
     
     I took a look, though, and I do seem to have the right version of
     libiconv.2.dylib:
     
     John:/opt/local% otool -L /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
     /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib:
             /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0,
     current version 7.0.0)
             /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
     version 1.0.0)
             /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
     version 111.1.3)
     
     Then I realized that pspp is apparently looking at the version of libiconv
     in /sw/lib (which actually is v5 and not v7) instead of /opt/local/lib.
     It appears that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined in /opt/local/bin/pspp, but I'm
     not sure if it's defined correctly (i.e., whether it should point to
     /opt/local/lib instead of /opt/local/lib/ppsp).  Changing it manually
     doesn't seem to be the solution, but I'm guessing this might be an easier
     problem to fix.
     
     Cheers,
     John P.
