Just a wild guess:

1. Would it help to recompile all the ports after DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH from
your .profile file was removed? I thought that, if this PATH is gone,
perhaps it links with the correct library, the newer one, rather than
the wrong one which is older.

And yes, perhaps removing the older library, and putting a symbolic link
to the newer one might resolve the issue. Hopefully it does not crash
something within Mac OS X itself. But you'll keep a copy of this library
just in case you need to restore it, I guess.

Wishing you much success with this issue.

Teus.
