The separate help app is located here (relative to your install): /Applications/QGIS_2.0-dev.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/qgis_help.app Inside its bundle is the main executable at: qgis_help.app/Contents/MacOS/qgis_help Running the 'otool -L ' on that gives the following (which matches your error): @executable_path/lib/libspatialindex.dylib This is not where libspatialindex.dylib is located relative to the qgis_help binary. It is really at: @executable_path/../../../../lib/libspatialindex.dylib in the main QGIS app bundle. This needs fix in the CMake setup for bundling on Mac. You can fix locally if you have Apple's XCode and command line developer tools installed with the following commands in Terminal: cd /Applications/QGIS_2.0-dev.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/qgis_help.app/Contents/MacOS install_name_tool -change @executable_path/lib/libspatialindex.dylib \ @executable_path/../../../../lib/libspatialindex.dylib \ qgis_help Works for me on 10.7.5. Please test if you can. Make sure to remove the noted symlink you made first (unneeded). Now, this begs the question... why is libspatialindex.dylib needed by the help app to begin with? I don't think it is. So really, what needs fixed is the fact that it is being added to the help app build, when it shouldn't be. Also, you will find the info in the help app outdated. And, often the app will open up behind your front window. Regards, and thanks for the report.
