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 ran into the same issue getting celery to work.

I did some quick tests and here's what I found, but can't quite pin it on a specific cause yet:

a. stock python with ctypes.CDLL("libSystem.dylib") results in the image not found error.

b. stock python with ctypes.CDLL("/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib") works

c. virtualenv python with ctypes.CDLL("libSystem.dylib") works
