I checked libfreetype.6.dylib and found that sometimes it is not linked properly so I folled this and relinked it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14013474/lion-osx-how-to-install-libfreetype-6-dylib

The error remains. I checked whether @loader_path/../../../../opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib points to libfreetype and if I cdthere from the LabRecorder in brew's Cellar I do end up in the freetype lib. So I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions how to get this working?

[cboulay]

The failing reference is from libharfbuzz. I don't even know what that is.
Anyway, can you try modifying the reference?

install_name_tool -change <old-path> <new-path> <file>

where <file> is /opt/homebrew/*/LabRecorder.app/Contents/Frameworks/libharfbuzz.0.dylib (not sure what the * is doing there),
<old-path> is @loader_path/../../../../opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib,
and <new-path> is the full absolute path to libfreetype.6.dylib.
