Makes sense, it's simply the only file my greping came up with. Obviously my greping isn't good enough :-)

> Qt Creator exits with code 1 if it cannot find its "Core" plugin (though it also should print a message). How did you try to build Qt Creator? (qmake build should work, the qbs build in 2.7 is known to be broken on Mac OS).

I built using qmake. Specifically:

/usr/local/qt-5.0.2/bin/qmake -r
make -j4

Maybe the -r was wrong? I don't remember where I saw that...

So Core.pluginspec is there. It's just not being loaded, apparently. Hmm....

Incidentally, a seemingly identical build on a different machine (that does not have a clean install of the OS, and as such doubtless has numerous third-party/different versions of libraries installed) did work. It's just this clean machine that it is not working on.
