### Please describe the problem. git-annex doesn't start. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? launch git-annex from terminal (if it is ran from GUI it doesn't open without notifying any error) ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? Version: 6.20171128-g58b04cd2e on OS X 10.13.1 (17B1003) ### Please provide any additional information below. I solved the issue by manually changing the file /Applications/git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS/bundle/B which is an alias pointing to the file /Applications/git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS/bundle/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib with a new alias having the same name 'B' which link to /usr/lib/libz.1.dylb. I'm pretty sure this is not an optimal and general solution, but it is useful in order to prove what's the problem. Further, for it worked.
