This is probably a bit more of a mac question, but here goes.  
I am trying to use rdoc -d to generate class diagrams on a mac running  
Tiger  
(OS X 10.4) for a rails app. I managed to get dot installed, but now am  
running into problems with dot looking for libraries that either do not  
exist or are apparently in the wrong place. I probably made things worse  
by  
trying (at various times) both Darwin ports and i-installer. Can anyone  
point me to instructions on getting this working?

BTW, the current error I am getting is

dyld: Library not loaded: /Local/DarwinPorts/lib/libpng.3.dylib  
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/dot  
Reason: image not found

TIA,  
Keith
