Hi Pascal, I’ve done exactly as you said and have the following output:
<output.pdf>
(format nil "~x"(+ 1025 #xe70)) —> "1271" Since it looks like the functions around this address are unrelated to file accesses, then we may suppose that we have an error due to the modifications made by install_name_tool to the binary.
Try without using this tool.
If my hypothesis is correct, you will have to load the libraries explicitely at run-time as we’ve always done with cffi…
Honestly, I’m not sure what to make of it, it looks very similar to your output as well,

Hi Pascal,
Thank you for your email,
- You’re correct, I had to manually copy the libraries in to the app bundle, I just did something like:
cp /usr/local/lib/libeql5.1.dylib ./next.app/Contents/Frameworks/
- I saw the message is within ECL, I found the exact file with the error message, it is located in ecl/src/c/unixint.d
I figured my problem was unrelated to the libraries, but I wasn’t 100% sure, just wanted to include all information,
- I have no idea how to read assembly, I mean I can pick through it, but I won’t be able to really understand what’s going on, nor would I know how to even attach a debugger to the process, are there any other ways that I can examine what’s going on? A source file I can look at? Should I be looking for issues within ECL or EQL?
You don’t need to understand the assembly code; you can just watch the name of the functions around the indicated location.
In the case of my version of libecl, I would find:

we can see that calls to SI:GETCWD, SI:MAKE-VECTOR and SI-FILL-ARRAY-WITH-ELT are made just before that address, and a call to CL:MAKE-HASH-TABLE will be called just after.
So if I had the error at the same cl_boot+1025 offset, I would infer there’s some problem with the allocation of a vector. (But this is not consistent with your file not found error, so check your own copy of the library, you may find other functions around the cl_boot+1025 address).
