Hi Bernhard,

 Thanks for testing this.  I don't know anything at all about OSX so I need
to rely on OSX users and developers to sort out any issues. The new 3D
code has 2 sets of libraries associated:

1. libkicad_3dsg is a library which both kicad and any 3D plugin must link
to at runtime, so this needs to be installed where the OSX dynamic loader
will find it.  The install script is in 3d-viewer/3d_cache/CMakeLists.txt
and
at the moment the destination is ${KICAD_LIB} (defined in the top level
CMakeLists.txt) but I can make changes to suit wherever is appropriate
for OSX.

2. 3D plugins: there are currently 2: libs3d_plugin_idf and
libs3d_plugin_vrml.
These need to be installed somewhere the 3D Plugin Manager will find them,
but it is not necessary for them to be in the  search path of the dynamic
loader. Plugins are installed to ${KICAD_USER_PLUGIN}/3d - if we change
the location of these files I will also need to make changes to the source
code.

So, if you can recommend what paths to install to I can make the changes.

- Cirilo
