I have both the pyobjc and your pyobjc-nib - both break similarly.

This elusive "framework install". I see this in pyobjc's INSTALL:

***

I don't think I did anything special when building the 2.3, but I 
can try to specify those specifically at configure time. What else 
is required to get the "framework install"?

I've also got your -nib version of the pyobjc, and it breaks similarly.
