Library not loaded: @rpath/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL on mac 10.9

Question

I have a library project built with xcode3.2.6. It works fine until I tried it on one of the mac 10.9 machine.

The library uses sdl framework.

When I tried my library, I got error message:

I guess the error is related with rpath, but have no idea where I should start debugging it. Please help. Thanks.

By the way, the SDL version is 1.2.14, include both 32bit and 64bit versions.

The mac is 10.9.4, 64bit.

For anyone finding this in 2020, make sure to install SDL2 correctly for your target system:

https://www.libsdl.org/

In regard to Mac OS X: /Library/Frameworks/ should contain SDL2.framework.
