[MacTUG] updating dyld

[Steve Hellyer]

Not seen a program complain about dyld itself (not to say your not  
having the problem). Have seen a programs, typically from macports or  
fink ports, when compiled complain about the version of a library the  
program need to link to. That being a library already installed is  
different than the one your program needs to function.

Sort of like as described here... (random example).

Could this be the problem???

I think replacing the dynamic linker might be a bit risky in the  
larger scope things. Might try it on a non-production machine.

If your running a program which updates a library. It is important to  
reboot so that caches can be updated.
Why some system updates require rebooting.

You can update the Dynamically link library caches by doing this...

update_prebinding -force -root /

and then reboot immediately.  Was something we did more on PowerPC  
machines than Intel but not sure your details.

Hope this helps.
