install_name_tool reporting malformed object - xcode

Everytime I try to use install_name_tool on my machine it reports the following
install_name_tool: object: Abacate malformed object (unknown load command 4)
I read that it could be an error when building the binary. In order to check I create the simplest hello world c++ program and try to change something using install_name_tool. Didn't work. What Am I doing wrong?
Currently I have XCode 4.2 running Snow Leopard OS.

Apparently install_name_tool is not updated when XCode is updated. You need to install the Command Line Tools from XCode Preferences. See also install_name_tool on OS X Lion. This resolved the same error for me.

Managed to make it work with Mac OS 10.9.3

Fixing /bin/executable on OS X

I believe that "brew update" has destroyed my /bin/zipalign - since after that it does not run anymore. The box is at a remote location (10 hours time zone difference, in a server box so I cannot get physical access to push cmd+r). I can sudo but that does not fix the issue.
How do I solve this?

This is a Jenkins slave, access: ssh only, can sudo, cannot touch the real keyboard, how do I fix it?
As it turned to be the solution: Copy a file into /usr/bin and make sure it has precedence over /bin and then the botched application will not run.

raco executables linked to invalid runtime

I have Racket installed via homebrew. When I attempt to create an executable with raco, per:
raco exe my_prog.rkt
...the resulting binary is linked to a Racket runtime with an invalid path. This can be seen with otool -L:
my_prog:
/usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3/lib/racket/Racket.framework/Versions/6.3_3m/Racket (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0)
The correct path doesn't contain racket/ after lib/. Thus, when you attempt to run the binary, dyld complains and aborts execution.
I can fix this, using install_name_tool:
chmod +w my_prog
install_name_tool -change /usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3/lib/racket/Racket.framework/Versions/6.3_3m/Racket /usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3/lib/Racket.framework/Versions/6.3_3m/Racket my_prog
...however, obviously this isn't something I want to have to do all the time!
Presumably raco is getting this invalid path from somewhere. Is there some way that I can configure this correctly?

Mac OS X libcurl dylib compatibility version

My application builds and runs fine on 10.6. I have Base SDK set to 10.6 and Mac OS X Deployment Target set to 10.5.
My application uses the system libcurl.dylib — instead of adding the dylib to the project, I just add -lcurl to the linker flags in build settings. (Though I have tried it both ways.)
When I launch the application on 10.5.8, I get the following error
Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/My Application.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApplication
Reason: Incompatible library version:
MyApplication requires version 6.0.0 or
later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides
version 5.0.0
Sure enough, if I otool -L the application's binary, I get the following for libcurl:
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.1.0)
Is there any way around this, or should I just statically link my own libcurl build?
Have you tried setting the Base SDK to 10.5 as well?
$ otool -L /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib

How do I bundle a library within a Cocoa application?

I have the library libmysqlclient.16.dylib, which I need to have on the computer where my application is running, or I will get the following error:
Dyld Error Message: Library not
loaded:
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/alex/snow
server 3.app/Contents/MacOS/snow
server Reason: image not found
This is very strange, because I linked the binary with this library.
If the same dylib exists on the target computer, but in a different version (for example, Snow Leopard Server), I get an error like the following:
Dyld Error Message: Library not
loaded:
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/alex/snow
server 3.app/Contents/MacOS/snow
server Reason: no suitable image
found. Did find:
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib:
mach-o, but wrong architecture
I'd like to link against this library, but not have to use the local copy of it. Is this possible?
UPDATE - when i try to using install_name_tool i don't have any changes:
bash-3.2# otool -L
libmysqlclient.16.dylib
libmysqlclient.16.dylib:

/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
(compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.9.0)
SOLUTION
i was add a script into build phase:
install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib #executable_path/../Frameworks/libmysqlclient.16.dylib $CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/MacOS/$PRODUCT_NAME
this was fixed a libpath for executive product and working fine with lib in bundle.
First, you'll want to make sure that you're copying this library into your application bundle so that it will be available on the user's machine. To do this, add a new Copy Files build phase for your application to copy bundled frameworks. Within the properties of that build phase, make sure that the destination is Frameworks. Drag your library from your project into that build phase to make sure that it is packaged with your application.
You may also need to modify the library itself so that it points to the correct location within the application bundle. In the past, I've done this by making a copy of the library within my project's directory, then using the following command to modify where the library expects to find itself:
install_name_tool -id #executable_path/../Frameworks/libftd2xx.0.1.0.dylib libftd2xx.0.1.0.dylib
In this case, the library being modified was called libftd2xx.0.1.0.dylib.
You can use the command
otool -L [library filename]
to see the path where the library expects itself to be found and determine if this change needs to be made.
Make sure that you change the path on the library within your Xcode project so that you will be linking against this new, modified version of the library residing within your project directory.

dylib #executable_path path issue in a plug-in bundle

I am developing a plug-in bundle, say MyPlugIn.bundle for an application, say BigApp.app. This bundle requires a dylib, say MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/Resources/library.dylib. I have relocated paths for library.dylib, as I would have done for a simple application bundle:
$ otool -L MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn
MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn:
#executable_path/../Resources/library.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
[...]
$ otool -L MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/Resources/library.dylib
MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/Resources/library.dylib:
#executable_path/../Resources/library.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
[...]
But BigApp.app fails to load this bundle, and Mac OS X's Console.app logs what follows:
19/01/10 15:42:59 BigApp[51516] Error loading /Library/Application Support/BigApp/Plug-Ins/MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/BigApp/Plug-Ins/MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn, 262): Library not loaded: #executable_path/../Resources/library.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Application Support/BigApp/Plug-Ins/MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn
Reason: image not found
It seems that #executable_path is not replaced by the MyPlugIn.bundle executable path but by the BigApp.app executable path.
Any workaround to that, without absolute path and so that it will work on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)? Thanks.
From the web and other SO questions: use #loader_path/.. instead of #executable_path/... See:
