py2app dependency problem

Question

i will create a OS X Package using py2app. It is a Game using the FIFE-Engine. If i launch the resulting .app Bundle on another Mac i get this error Message:

Failed to load FIFE: dlopen([...]/Contents/Resources/fife/engine/python/fife/_fife.so, 2): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libSDL_ttf-2.0.0.dylib

Referenced from: [...]/Contents/Resources/fife/engine/python/fife/_fife.so Reason: Incompatible library version: _fife.so requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libSDL_ttf-2.0.0.dylib provides version 7.0.0

but libSDL_ttf-2.0.0.dylib is included in the Frameworks dir of the .app

how can i tell the app to use the dylibs in the Frameworks folder?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this will fix your problem, but it sounds related to the problem being discussed here: py2app built app displays `ERROR: pygame.macosx import FAILED` on other machines

In particular, notice the one-line dynlib bug fix to boot_app.py (part of the py2app source).
