sqlite - HOW TO sqlite3_load_extension from within Objective-c [error: dlopen(...) image not found]

I am trying to load an extension to sqlite3 for use within iPhone application objective-c code. I successfully compiled the c file of new functions into a dylib named libsqlitefunctions.dylib. Here is where I am a bit lost. I call sqlite3_load_extension as follows:

char *error = sqlite3_malloc(MAX_SQLITE_ERROR_MESSAGE_SIZE);
const char *library = [@"libsqlitefunctions.dylib" UTF8String];

if (sqlite3_load_extension(database, library, 0, &error) != SQLITE_OK) {
message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s", error];
}

sqlite3_free(error);

No matter what I do, I get the error: dlopen(libsqlitefunctions.dylib, 10): image not found

I tried:

1. indicating the fully qualified path to the dylib


2. indicating a relative path



3. not indicating a path (as shown above)


4. adding the dylib as a framework


5. adding the .c file to my project and compiling it into a .o file and then trying to load it

Please note that this is not an entry point problem, since I pass 0 as that arg. This will force the dylib to load by calling an init function defined in the dylib. I do not even get to that point.

I am pretty much a newbie compared to the rest of you guys and feel that I am probably lacking an understanding of how libraries are loaded.

I would really appreciate any ideas since the ability to make use of the functions in this library is important to the functionality of my app. Thank you all in advance.
