Description

I followed the installation instructions to add the library to my project (using bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/objectbox/objectbox-go/main/install.sh), and it failed with the error message below.

Thanks for reporting! Based on a quick web search this LC_RPATH issue appears to be an issue since macOS Sonoma (macOS 14).

I'm not sure how the ObjectBox Go library works, but as a workaround have you tried to put the ObjectBox library into the execution directory (or where the ObjectBox Go library expects it)?

[kwadkore]

Where exactly does the library expect it? I followed the setup instructions, which should presumably put things in the expected locations.

I ran the install.sh script in the directory of the project I intended to use Objectbox with and ran into this issue, so then I followed the instructions to try the provided Objectbox test code and ran into the same issue.

[greenrobot-team]

It should work if the library is in the same folder as the executable. You can manually download it using the

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/objectbox/objectbox-c/main/download.sh)

command (do not install it system-wide when asked).

This is just a potential workaround, we need to look at and fix this.
