I'm getting an error from dlcompat.c when I try to run an external that's linking to a dylib in /usr/lib. Works fine under 10.5 and Max 5.0.8.

"Can not open libisense.dylib".

Which means this line: module = (void *)NSAddImage(path, NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_RETURN_ON_ERROR);

is returning NULL. I thought it was maybe because NSAddImage was deprecated in 10.6 but the test program still runs from the command line. It's only when I try to run it in the latest version of Max that it fails.

Any ideas why this would be happening? Did something change regarding security settings or path settings that prevents Max from loading a dylib from /usr/lib?
