where to put shared library?

[Buckey]

I have a library I need to share between two applications - my application and will also be callable by a Photoshop plug-in. Where is the best place to put the library?

I think Apple wants us to stay out of /system/library/extensions and I want to stay out of there so the user doesn't need an administrator password to install.

Is it best put in /users/shared so all users can access it or username/library/?? (Application Support?)

I can't put it inside of my application because I need to share it with Photoshop and the the code will be available for users to modify.

Apple's documentation on this is vague.

TIA

Kevin

Depending on the exact type of packaging you're using (framework, plug-in bundle, etc), there is a respective directory for that kind of thing in /Library (ie, /Library/Frameworks, /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, etc). You may have to create it though.

The System Overview document (/Developer/Documentation/Essentials/SystemOverview when devtools are installed) covers this pretty well in the Installation and Integration chapter.
