Frameworks and storage locations...

making it out or are being delayed?)

Hi again, everyone. Thanks to those of you who helped me with my
last problem with the NSArray; I tracked it down and fixed it.
Hope I'm not annoying anyone...

One more question: I use two frameworks in an application which
I built on my end. Since I can't rely on the end user having
these frameworks, I added a copy phase to my application build
to copy the two frameworks into the application bundle.

Now, here's the problem. I don't know why exactly I did this,
but with one of the frameworks I built, I dropped it into my
Mac's /Library/Frameworks folder and added it to my project from
there. Later I decided that I wanted to rebuild the framework,
and I didn't want to keep it in /Library/Frameworks anymore. So
I deleted it from there, kept the rebuilt framework in its
original build directory, and then updated the framework link in
my project to reflect the change. The application compiles fine.

But now when I try to run the application, it expects the
framework to be in /Library/Frameworks and not its own
Frameworks directory. So, when I try to run the app, I get a
console message that looks like this:

dyld:
/Users/nickzman/Application/build/Application.app/Contents/MacOS/Application
can't open library:
/Library/Frameworks/Framework.framework/Versions/A/Framework 
(No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Application.app has exited with status 60.

I checked the project again and again, looking for references to
the old style file paths, and couldn't find any. Yet, the
dynamic linker seems to insist on looking for the framework in
/Library/Frameworks and is ignoring the framework that is now
bundled in with the application.

There must be something really simple that I'm overlooking. Does
anyone know how I can fix this?
