"unable to load foreign library"

[Dar Scott]

A utility named file sees both 32 and 64. The utility lipo sees 64.  

I'm suspecting dependencies.  This isn't my .dylib file.  

I'm wondering if there is a way I can check dlerror() somehow.

The man page for dlopen says that the backup environment variable does not exist, it is assumed to be "$HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib".  Since the last is one of the places that I put the library, then I'm guessing the location is probably OK.  There might be some other  dependency I'm not aware of that is causing a problem.
