OSError: dlopen(libSystem.dylib, 6): image not found

Question

Just updated my Mac to El Capitan 10.11. I am trying to run Django 1.6 with Celery 3.1 and I\'m getting this error now:

Unhandled exception in thread starte         


        

Answer 1

I suspect (but can't confirm) the System Integrity Protection (SIP) of OSX El Capitan is preventing access to your /usr/lib folder.

It would be extreme and defeating the purpose of the security feature, but you could try disabling SIP by booting into the OS X Recovery partition, executing csrutil disable and rebooting...atleast until another option / work-around can be found.
