Some other sources I found while researching say that LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not exist on OS X but the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is its equivalent. That didn't help either, however. A number of other folks have had a similar problem and blamed flat namespaces for the problem. This even included folks trying to compile PHP stuff. An example on the Ruby side can be found here: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/344658?help-en I tried the DYLD_PROPERTIES=1 trick listed there though and on the jruby side it never even attempts to load the macports libs... so maybe it's a completely different issue. I'll post back again if I happen to figure out my problem. I’ve hit the exact same problem but setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn’t seem to help me any.
