Hi Mike,<br><br>I did try running otool -L, and the output shows that there aren't hard coded paths -- that's what is really confusing me. What I do notice is that the *.jnilib files are symbolic links that include the full path.
I.e. <br><br>*.jnilib -> /Users/jennifer/Development/vtkbuild/bin/*.dylib<br><br>However the *.dylib files are symbolic links without the full path. I.e.<br><br>*.dylib -> *.dylib.5.0<br>*.dylib.5.0 -> *.dylib.5.0.3
<br><br>I'm not sure why this happens. I'm thinking that I will try changing they symlinks on the *.jnilib files and see if I can get things to work that way.<br><br>My reluctance to upgrade to Tiger? Only money ;) And now with Leopard so near on the horizon it doesn't seem worth it...

<div style="">This most definitely has everything to do with RPATH and how the native c++ libraries and executables are linked. <div><br></div><div>if you run the "otool -L [library]" command on one of the libraries in the "bin" directory what is the output?
</div><div><br></div><div>The first few lines will tell you if there is a hard coded path set for that library. This is why the paths MUST be exactly the same between the 2 machines. There are ways to change this path but it gets messy very quick. I would just make sure the paths match between computers. If the program you are going to write will eventually get deployed to others then you will need to revisit the whole RPATH ordeal...
</div><div><br></div><div>You may also want to try and upgrade to Tiger if at all possible. If your are loading Tiger on an older machine and worry about speed issues, dont. In my experience, Tiger will run at the same speed as Panther on the same hardware. If you can not upgrade for other reasons.. then I do not have any suggestions.
