You can create a hard link in /usr/lib to the library being called or LD_LIBRARY_PATH=(location of library folder) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH and that should solve your problem!

They've got lots of Unix/Linux packages that can be installed/compiled etc, just by using a graphical interface. I use MacPorts, and installing python is as easy as typing sudo port install python Give it a look. You'll probably need X11 installed too. Also, your comment box doesn't scroll in FIrefox 2.

It has Unix at its core, in the kernel, but it has been heavily modified and integrated with code from the now defunct NeXT project. If you really want to test out an application designed for Unix you are going to need a standard Unix or Unix-like type OS. I would recommend either FreeBSD or any of the various flavours of Linux. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a standard environmental variable commonly found in Linux and I believe FreeBSD Unix as well. I believe the problem is in the belief that MAC OS X is a standard Unix.
