this depends on the installation philosophy. :) Unlike you and René I use macports which installs into "/opt/local" (and its subdirectories "bin", "lib", "include", "man", "share", etc., nowadays. Homebrew, I understand, installs like you suggest. mvim (the Mac version of vi improved) installs into /usr/local, etc. No matter which philosophy one follows the "@executable_path/../lib" in the binaries RPATH will allow rexx to locate its libraries in its sibling "lib" directory. The BSF4ooRexx installation installs, as you know, according to Apple's installation recommendations, hence Framework and Application bundles are used there. The binaries in this environment are then symbolically linked to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib. Thinking of this scenario it actually may make sense to have an additional RPATH defined in this case (speculating that the system will resolve the symbolic path e.g. "/usr/local/bin/rexx -> /Library/Frameworks/ooRexx.framework/Commands/rexx" for which its libraries are located in "@executable_path/../Libraries"). Will test and report back, whether this would really be necessary. ---rony
