[libical] Trouble finding zoneinfo? (icalerror.c:99: FILE: An operation on a file failed.)

[Knud Hinnerk Möller]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for a great library, it does exactly what I  
want! :-)

I hope there is still someone on this list who can help me with this  
thing. Is it true that, if I want to distribute an application that  
uses libical, every user of my application must have libical  
installed in the same place where I originally installed it (e.g. / 
usr/local/)? The reason seems to be that libical needs to have access  
to the timezone information in the ../shared, if I'm not mistaken.

In my situation, I am using libical in an app on Mac OS X. The whole  
application gets compiled into an app bundle, which is supposed to be  
self contained - i.e. all libraries and other resources are supposed  
to be inside that bundle. It shouldn't be necessary for the user to  
install additional things outside that bundle. Now, it seems to me  
that I cannot work with libical in that way - or can I somehow  
specifiy a relative path to tell libical where to look for the  
zoneinfo? If that is possible, can someone tell me how to do it, or  
point me to the right documentation?

All help greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Knud
