I'm getting some "No such file or directory" errors from one of my apps due to missing files. Can someone tell me whether these files exist in their installation of 11.2?
  • /Library/GPUBundles/AMDRadeonX6000GLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ATIRadeonX6000SCLib.dylib
  • /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX6000GLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ATIRadeonX6000SCLib.dylib
  • /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Resources//GLRendererFloat.bundle/GLRendererFloat
I have SIP enabled and therefore I presume that these are 'missing' on every machine, but I just want to put my mind at ease.
 
Wow, that seems a awesome way to create an app that will break after a few updates… why people continue to create such fragile apps…

No, those are not there anymore. macOS 11 has got a new built-in cache of all system provided libraries.
From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-big-sur-11_0_1-release-notes:

  • New in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1, the system ships with a built-in dynamic linker cache of all system-provided libraries. As part of this change, copies of dynamic libraries are no longer present on the filesystem. Code that attempts to check for dynamic library presence by looking for a file at a path or enumerating a directory will fail. Instead, check for library presence by attempting to dlopen() the path, which will correctly check for the library in the cache. (62986286)

Thanks. I suspected that there was nothing wrong with my installation, but good to have confirmation :)
