I think you also need the pgsql client dylib in the bundle and it would be better to use @executable_path/../Resources/lib/libdbi.1.dylib rather than /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents as that will allow you to move the bundle.

Use `otool -L /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/lib/dbd/libdbdpgsql.so` to make sure that your install_name_tool invocation did what you want. I’m suspicious of the relative path in your install_name_tool invocation.

Console doesn’t catch stderr anymore and hasn’t since Lion (10.7). You can check the trace file (`sudo find /var/private/Temp -name gnucash.trace` to get the path) but link errors might not get into there either, so best to run GnuCash from a Terminal session: /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash
so the stderr output goes where you can see it.
