"unable to load foreign library"

[Dar Scott]

I'm using LiveCode Builder in LC 8.0.0-rc-1 on Yosemite.  

I am getting the error "unable to load foreign library" on the first try of a call to a foreign handler.  

I am guessing that I don't have the .dylib in the right place.  It is a couple folders down in a folder I put at /opt/ and /usr/lib/.  I also put the .dylib directly in the same folder as the .lcb.  

It might be that I'm doing something else goofy.  I tried fiddling with the foreign handler parameter types (I'm assuming an exact match is not needed) and with the library>function.  

Anybody know where the dynamic library should be?  And if the above locations should work, then...  Does anybody have any examples of foreign handler declarations for arbitrary functions in arbitrary libraries.
