[Gtk-sharp-list] gtk-sharp os x, library not found

[Jonathan Pryor]

OSX is not a front-end bound to BSD Unix.  OSX is a Mach micro-kernel
with a BSD subsystem attached.  If anything, BSD is a front-end to the
Mach kernel, but the normal Mach kernel exports are also present.

Furthermore, most Unixes (at present) use ELF for their binary format. 
(Unless they're still in the stone age with a.out, or using some COFF
format...)  OSX doesn't; it uses Mach-O.

In any event, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used.  What you want is:

	DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

(note the leading "DY".)  See ``man dyld'' for more information.
