yup.  1st gotta figure out 'what' MacOS 'is' ...

changes, but at the moment,

% echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
    /usr/local/berkeley-db/lib: /usr/local/cyrus-sasl/lib: /usr/local/ssl/lib: 
/usr/local/lib: /System/Library/Frameworks: /usr/lib: /usr/X11R6/lib

tried moving/removing the '/System/Library/Frameworks', to no avail ...

% echo $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
    10.3
