Comments

The nightly builds are compiled for x86_64, so for 64bit because Qt is provided in 64bit binaries.
Apparently the libmp3lame.dylib you are trying to load, if it's the same one I'm trying to load, it's 32bit only and so the loading fails because a 64 bit software can't load a 32 bit library.
