Library not loaded error on running on mac machines

Hi team,

I am working on an electron app, which uses node-ibm_db. I am getting ‘Library not loaded’ error while trying to run the app on other’s machines. There are no errors while building the app.

Screenshot:

It seems that the library location is being absolute-referenced to my local machine path instead of linking to the assets in the app itself.

This issue is only occuring for mac builds (windows and linux binaries are working fine), so I figured it might be arising from bindings.gyp. Any suggestions in this regard would be really helpful.

Another simpler way to install ibm_db for the use with electron on vscode is, install ibm_db using command: npm install ibm_db --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron If you have already installed ibm_db then try below steps:

cd .../node_modules/ibm_db
rm -rf build
npm install --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron
node test/test-basic-test.js

Thanks.

@tarzzz Please share the steps to reproduce the issue on mac starting with npm install electron. You can set below env vars as a workaround and verify the error:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/tarun/plotly/plotly-database-connector/node_modules/ibm_db/installer/clidriver/lib:/Users/tarun/plotly/plotly-database-connector/node_modules/ibm_db/installer/clidriver/bin:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$PATH: $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thanks.
