The scripts distributed with ige-mac-bundler are *examples*. You're responsible for editing them so that they work with your program. 

That said, it seems unlikely that a library link error (particularly one involving Apple's installed frameworks) could be caused by a script error. You'll have to dig deeper with your user.

Remember that Gtk-OSX is intended for use by developers, not script-kiddies. You're expected to be able to debug and correct problems with your package. Come here for help with specific usage questions, not vague pleas about *your* users not being able to run *your* package.
