thanks a lot. i will give that a try and re-link the libraries.

essentially i am trying to package a Panda3D test application using  
py2app - see http://knuddl.net/moin.cgi/InstallPanda3d for my Panda3D  
package if interested(compiled/linked for OS X including installation  
instructions) - though be aware that the installation is still  
cumbersome and definitely not as user friendly as i would like it to  
be - this is still very experimental (Panda3D has no official OS X  
support yet); anyways, i'll re-link the libraries and see how it's  
going.

thanks,
