macos - Symlinking executable surrounded with dylib not working

The executable

$ /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/WolframKernel

works fine:

Mathematica 10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit)
Copyright 1988-2014 Wolfram Research, Inc.

In[1]:= 

However if I symlink it under math in /usr/local/bin (or if I add /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/ to PATH), then I get the following error :

$ math
dlopen(/SystemFiles, 1): image not found

In its directory, MathKernel is surrounded with dylib files, so I believe it's the cause of the error. But then I thought adding a directory to PATH would avoid this kind of problem.

Running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

Answer

I have the same problem creating a symbolic link to Mathematica.

Try to use an alias like this:

alias math="/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel"
