Note that Darwin/Mac OS X uses the dylib extension for dynamic shared
libraries. You might be able to simply patch the source so that it
includes the extension when searching for the library. The way it's
being used might require some other modifications for proper use.

You might be able to refer the cc_dl_available() function within Coin3D:
