Hum, I should have mentioned that the same GCompris bundle works fine on
previous release of MacOSX. The issue here is probably because
libxml2.2.dylib is now shipped by MacOSX or has changed and there is an
incompatibility with the one I ship in my bundle. 

By the way, I am not the only one with this error:

I don't expect you to fix my script, I can manage this. What I am
looking at is the direction on how this issue must be managed under the
gtk-osx framework.

Bruno.
