Usually I do not have to cope with OSX. But today I had to and Apple's dylib policy drove me crazy (especially when there are many dylibs with absolute paths to their dependencies). The blogpost that saved the day for me introduced the handy tool install_name_tool. Calling with the -id switch, you can change the install name of the target. When used with the -change switch, install_name_tool will change the path to the dependency according to your settings (paths preferably relative!).
I wrote this post in case I ever have to deal with OSX again. Knowing that makes life a lot easier.
