[libvirt-users] Mac OS X: dyld: lazy symbol binding failed

[Mitchell Hashimoto]

Justin,

I saw your commit into homebrew and I am actually trying that. Like I
said, statically linking it to a test C program I wrote worked fine,
but working over FFI and dynamically loading it failed with the quoted
error message. I'm unsure how to proceed at this point. :)

Thanks a lot for the homebrew recipe, saved me some work there.

Best,
Mitchell
