Thanks for the answers. Using the *_FALLBACK_* as you suggest does
solve the problem, but I remain puzzled by the fact that I set
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH so that /sw/lib was searched before /usr/lib, so why
did it grab something from there unless it couldn't find it in /sw/
lib? In any case I install things I can't get from fink in /usr/local,
so that should be searched first.
Please let me know if I've let myself in for further puzzles at some
unknown future date, when this exchange will have faded from my
memory ...

This seems to be the source of your trouble.
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH *overrides* the natural search path which dyld
uses. Unlike Linux (which you may be familiar with example), each
library contains a full path to all libraries it is linked to, and
dyld normally follows that path. Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to *any*
nonempty value overrides the normal search.
If something you have installed really needs to have a path
specified through an environment variable,
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is a much better choice.
