Actually, the trouble turned out to be that I had installed MacPorts 
nearly two years ago and forgotten about it, and the new installation 
caused problems because of Snow Leopard/Lion differences. Uninstalling 
and reinstalling MacPorts worked to fix the library issue.

Now I'm able to get to an actual crash in Bibledit, where it is hitting 
a null pointer in ScreenLayoutDimensions::timeout. Since it has to run 
under X11, I guess I need to relearn how to debug from the command line. 
I haven't dealt with a makefile for about twenty years, so it will take 
a while to get up to speed again.
