Check the IDs in your library (see otool -L) - if the symlink works then the ID doesn't match its actual location (or it's empty). Adjust it with install_name_tool -change if that's the case. Don't set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH it overrides the search path and cause a lot of trouble - if you have to then your binary is using the wrong ID. Obviously, you'll need to recompile the package when you change the ID.

Cheers,
Simon
