Thanks everyone. The above command returns an output similar to this:

Code:

/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib
/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation
/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL
/System/Library/Frameworks/AudioUnit.framework/Versions/A/AudioUnit
/System/Library/Frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/Versions/A/QuartzCore
/System/Library/Frameworks/QTKit.framework/Versions/A/QTKit
/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices
/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices

Is it possible to make one further refinement to take out the part of each path that has "/Versions" in it. For example this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit

Would become this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework

Basically any part of a path that starts with "/Versions" is removed.

dh_gnustep

DH_GNUSTEP(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     DH_GNUSTEP(1)

NAME

       dh_gnustep - moves files in the GNUstep hierarchy to FHS-compliant locations

SYNOPSIS

       dh_gnustep [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_gnustep is a program based on debhelper that is responsible for doing GNUstep-specific modifications, such as moving files in the
       GNUstop hierarchy within the System domain, rooted at /usr/lib/GNUstep/System, to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)-compliant locations.

       dh_gnustep makes the following changes:

       GNUstep dependencies:
	   Adds any extra dependencies needed for GNUstep.  Currently, the only dependency added is to ensure that the package uses the same
	   filesystem layout as the other GNUstep packages installed on the system.

       arch-indep directories:
	   Moves architecture-independent directories to /usr/share/GNUstep.

       library resources:
	   Moves library resources to /usr/share/GNUstep/Libraries.

       frameworks:
	   Moves framework headers to /usr/include/GNUstep/Frameworks, and framework resources to /usr/share/GNUstep/Frameworks.

OPTIONS

       dh_gnustep accepts the common debhelper options.

       If the DEB_GNUSTEP_NO_MOVE environment variable is set to a non-empty, non-zero value, then dh_gnustep exits without doing anything.

BUGS

       Should implement -X option.

       Should do something with resources in .app bundles.

       Should remove library_paths.openapp and stamp.make files.

       Doesn't really do the right thing with info files (should call install-info).

       Should do something with Java classes -- make a jar file and move from Library/Libraries/Java to /usr/share/java -- to comply with Java
       policy.

CONFORMS TO

       Debian policy, version 3.6.2

       FHS, version 2.3
