#2406: OS X bundles can't launch Tor (libevent linked dynamically)

 Priority:  critical                  |   Milestone:       
Component:  Tor bundles/installation  |     Version:

--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Neither TBB nor the Vidalia bundles contain a Tor that has libevent linked
 statically, so launching Tor will fail without any recognizable error
 message in Vidalia.

 Launching the tor by hand gives:
 {{{
 dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.4.2.dylib
   Referenced from: /Users/killerchicken/Downloads/TorBrowser_en-
 US.app/Contents/MacOS/./tor
   Reason: image not found
 Trace/BPT trap
 }}}

 So far I have seen only 10.6 users report this issue, but I am almost sure
 that other users are affected as well.

 I'll try to hunt down our installation instructions to see where they can
 be improved. I'm also not sure why this did not occur before today, maybe
 something changed in the build setup (maybe libevent was compiled with
 --disable-shared before or something, but that's anyone's guess).
