I can start each of "image" and "mandelbrot" from the command line. I can give each a link-name, as you showed. But I still cannot get any of the ExtendGraphics packages delaunay.m, mandelbrot.m, Contour.m to load properly inside Mathematica -- in each case getting an error that the specified file "is not a MathLink executable". The value of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty, and what I read says this variable is not supposed to be used in OS X anymore. (I'm getting well beyond my depth here...)
