dyld not loaded Reason: image not found libopencv_core.2.4.dylib

Question

I'm still quite new to Objective C and Xcode, but I just finished a small app that uses the openCV `libopencv_core.2.4.2.dylib`. When I went to open the final built app on another machine, OS X threw me this error: ``` Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: */libopencv_core.2.4.dylib Referenced from: /Users/USER/Desktop/my app.app/Contents/MacOS/my app Reason: image not found ``` Why is my app looking for 2.4 instead of 2.4.2 here? What I already checked: I added a new build phase -> so that `libopencv_core.2.4.2.dylib` is copied to the app package (via "Copy Bundle Resources" in Xcode) - `libopencv_core.2.4.2.dylib` now lies in my `app.app/Resources` What did I miss? Do I have so set some more library search paths or similar? What I also did: ``` install_name_tool -id "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libopencv_core.2.4.2.dylib" libopencv_core.2.4.2.dylib ``` Copying the dylib to the Frameworks directory doesn't work either: ``` Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/libop…

Accepted Answer

I found a better solution: recompiling openCV in Xcode and set the `@executable_path/../Frameworks` in the build settings, for every .dylib you compile - now the `.dylibs` themselves always "know where they are".
