Ok, jumping in here. The output says it all:
$ file /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.dylib /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 1 architecture: [x86_64: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 dynamically linked shared library] So, this *is* a shared library. $ file /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.0.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 1 architecture: [x86_64: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 dSYM companion file] And this is *not*. It therefore should *not* have the .dylib ending - but .dsym. This is one error. The build process seems to be in error here. What does otool -L say on both files? There should be *no* reference to /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.0.xxx in /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.dylib. To analyze further: did you get these libs from? (Sorry, didn't follow the whole thread).
