embedded frameworks and dyld failure

[Anthony B Arthur]

This is related to a question I posted a few days ago.  Apologies if  
this has already been answered, but I am not finding it.  Running OSX  
10.4.10 on intel.

Question:
I am trying to bundle an app with all resources embedded.  I have  
followed steps posted here - http://developer.apple.com/documentation/ 
MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFrameworks/Tasks/CreatingFrameworks.html#// 
apple_ref/doc/uid/20002258-106880-BAJJBIEF, under the Using Separate  
Xcode Projects For Each Target heading.  The app runs fine locally  
but when copied to another host (or just renaming the resource path  
locally -- effectively hiding the frameworks so that I know the app  
is loading the embedded ones) it fails.  Here's a few lines of the  
crash log:

I've included the first few lines, and the last line of the log.   
Observe that dyld is loading 5 frameworks (I think), but there should  
be 6.  The missing framework is the one listed on the last line.  I  
suspect that is the source of my problem, but not exactly sure.   
Also, using otool -L on the app binary all 6 frameworks are linked:

**********

Can anyone please offer a clue to the solution here.  Also, is there  
a load order?  GBBase is the most basic framework and if order counts  
it should load first but it's unclear how to accomplish that.  I re- 
arranged the order in the app but kinda doubt that makes a difference.

Best,
