This error is probably generated because Spyder can't find its own libraries (like Qt, PyQt and libzmq) in the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH you set. Instead of just setting one path, I think you need extend it like so:

launchctl setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

See this post

I'm using MacOS 10.8, python 2.7.2 and Spyder 2.2.1

I'm trying to use MySQLdb in Spyder, but its python session refuses to locate a dynamic library (libmysqlclient.18.dylib). The solution for this, of course, is to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. But the envvar has to be set before loading Spyder (and not after the python session is open).

The only way to do it in OS 10.8 is to configure launchd. However, when I do it, by running this command:
launchctl setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib

Spyder doesn't load (it crashes immediately, before the splash screen).

Are you aware of this problem? Is there a workaround?

Thanks
