Try the following command fink remove libjpeg libpng3 libtiff libgif (remove libungif instead of libgif if that package is installed) and see if it helps. The problem lies with the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH that is used in the jython wrapper script. It is set to /sw/lib, and this makes Apple's stupid dynamic linker load things like /sw/lib/libGIF.dylib (which doesn't even exist, its name is /sw/lib/libgif.dylib) instead of /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/libGIF.dylib which it is supposed to load. While the mere existence of the latter (and similarly libTIFF.dylib, libJPEG.dylib and libPng.dylib) is due to some special arrogant idiocy only an Apple engineer can understand, we have to live with its consequences. One consequence is that setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is even more crash-prone than it used to be. The removal of all Fink-installed libraries that could confuse dyld is one possible solution. That's what I proposed above. Another solution would be to run everything on a case-sensitive file system, which would un-confuse dyld also. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
