I've committed a fix to SVN trunk that should give an error and continue
gracefully if the version check cannot be completed. In your case, I
would expect this to now just throw an error at startup, then continue
as normal. Please test.

OK, thats wierd. Can you dig around in the pg_dump executable and the
libraries it references within the bundle to try to track down if the
path munging that happens during bundle creation has gone wrong please?
Use 'otool -L <exe or lib>' to get a list of libraries and the paths
that they each think they're using.

I've committed a fix to acinclude.m4 that removes two places where we
assume $PGLIB == $PGHOME/lib (we get the value from pg_config now, as we
should. Can you test it please? You'll need to re-run the bootstrap
script after you svn update.
