I'm still trying to get py2app to work for our BioImageXD software, It appears to be the case that py2app is NOT re writing the install_name of included non system .dylibs (like the intel libguide and the vtk libs I am using) as you suggest it should be doing, so that they have @executable_path/../Frameworks/libWhatever.dylib instead of just libWhatever.dylib as their install_name, as can be seen by otool -L So now I wonder if this "should" be happening as the py2app code stands as you imply above, but isnt happeneing due to a problem, or if it is not happening since this is not what py2app is trying to do. Has it been fixed in a recent development version, or is it really broken in my case, or does that functionality need to be added? cheers Dan Dr. Daniel James White BSc. (Hons.)
