But I recently came across a problem with striking similarity. I keep restarting the computer to try and see the error that it is producing, but I can't find it. Do you know how the error would be listed? If so, could you list the context that i should be able to find it? Thanks for your time in advance, Justin Sorry for resurrecting this project again.

Usually a generic filename for a library like libz.1.dylib is symlinked to a specific version. If your "file exists" is talking about libz.1.dylib then you'd have to remove it before re-symlinking it. (I'd recommend renaming it though just to be safe) Hope this helps.

However, I entered in "ln -s libz.1.dylib libz.1.2.3.dylib" and the prompt reads "...: File exists". Could the same problem exist with a different libz file? Any help would be great. Loren Hey Weave,

I am having a similar (the same) problem. However, I entered in “ln -s libz.1.dylib libz.1.2.3.dylib” and the prompt reads “…: File exists”. Could the same problem exist with a different libz file? Any help would be great.
