yes, I did it and received this:

I see, so it looks like lib/libphonon.4.dylib is responsible for all the broken kde4 ports…
Yeah, the absolute path is not correct. It should be /opt/macports-test/lib/libphonon.4.dylib which is where the file is actually installed in the system:
---
$ port contents phonon  | grep libphonon.4.dylib
  /opt/macports-test/lib/libphonon.4.dylib
---




The question is now how I tell our culprit  /opt/macports-test/lib/libphononexperimental.4.6.0.dylib that the library as indeed installed as above?
For the installed files otool gives me this:
---
$ otool -L  /opt/macports-test/lib/libphononexperimental.4.6.0.dylib
/opt/macports-test/lib/libphononexperimental.4.6.0.dylib:
	lib/libphononexperimental.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, current version 4.6.0)
	lib/libphonon.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, current version 4.6.0)
	/opt/macports-test/lib/libQtCore.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.8.0, current version 4.8.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.11)
	/opt/macports-test/lib/libQtGui.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.8.0, current version 4.8.0)
	/opt/macports-test/lib/libQtDBus.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.8.0, current version 4.8.0)
	/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.9.0)
---




But the install_name_tool command
---
$ sudo install_name_tool -change lib/libphononexperimental.4.dylib /opt/macports-test/lib/libphononexperimental.4.dylib /opt/macports-test/lib/libphononexperimental.4.6.0.dylib
---
does not change the path in the library. otool's output stays the same as above.

Obviously I am doing something wrong (apart from the fact that I do this on the currently installed files and not in the destroot phase during a port installation).

Greets,
