ktrace/kdump is probably a good way to figure out what it wants.

Yes, it was quite helpful -- I found the problem. TThe symbolic links within
the framework (things like Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources) were all
gone when I copied the application to another machine. The problem was I
used a non-Unix-aware server as an intermediary for the copy, which means
all the symbolic links just vanished. Arrgggghh.


Anyway, when I did a direct Mac-to-Mac transfer, the app worked fine.

And this is why Mac applications are distributed in disk images, sit files, tarballs, or 10.3+-Finder-created-zip files...


Actually, I'm not totally sure I trust the 10.3+ zip files for symlinks. Disk images are the popular solution. Some later version of py2app will probably have an option for creating a dmg out of your application.
