pyside-rcc “dyld: Library not loaded:…”

Question

I'm a python and Qt rookie and I have some problems running pyside-rcc (and pyrcc4). The problem is not the link to the executable but a library problem it seems. That I'm not a unix wizard, probably doesn't help either:)

When I run $ pyside-rcc i get the following error

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore
  Referenced from: /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/pyside-rcc
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

For $ pyrcc4 the error is similar but not exactly the same:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/lib/QtXml.framework/Versions/4/QtXml
  Referenced from: /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/pyrcc4
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

• I'm running Mac OS X 10.9

• I have Enthought Canopy (v.1.5.1) installed with the following packages: Qt 4.8.5-10, PySide 1.2.2, PyQt 4.11.0-1

• I have also installed Qt Creator (3.3.0) which came with Qt 5.4.0

To activate the Canopy python packages system wide I have the following line in mt .bash_profile

VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1 source /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/activate

I have found a lot of posts with dyld: Library not loaded... errors but I can't find the right path to the Qt framework and thus, I'm stuck... Does anyone with Enthought Canopy have the same problem?

Thank you in advance, I appreciate any help.

Solved! I found a similar question here: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/9024

The libraries (when installed through Canopy) is in /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib

Apparently they should be in /Library/Frameworks After copying them here it works...
