That's a good break down of the issues.  I'll checkout @loader_path.
The @executable_path technique has been in Pd-extended for a long time,
check out all of the libs in Pd-extended.app/Contents/lib by doing
something like:

otool -L /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/lib/libavcodec. 51.dylib

But this still leaves us with Windows and GNU/Linux, right? I think the
original idea of setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH when loading, then
unsetting, is a good one.  It would be good to have all platforms use
the same technique.


seems like my other mail got unnoticed: i find that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
trick does NOT work as expected, as this variable is only evaluated at
strttime of the application, and setting it via setenv() seems to not
effect dlopen().


Ah, ok, that changes things. So you are sure there isn't a way to make this work? If so, do you think there are other shared library techniques you think could work? Otherwise, it looks like we are back to my original manual dlopen() proposal.
