I had a similar problem. Tried to install Palm and HotSync software on a PowerBook running Tiger. I kept getting this error message:
"The application "HotSync Manager" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "4<HotSync Manager><HotSync Manager><HotSyncLib.PPC>"
I finally solved the problem by borrowing an original Palm installation CD
from someone who had a newer Palm PDA/phone. This time the software installed immediately and smoothly.
Apparently the software (4.0) that you can download from the Palm website
does not do the trick. You have to work with a CD; in my case, it was version 4.2something, I think.
