Problem is that Python is installed under /Library. But algorithm in the _find_data_dir method [1] assumes it will be installed under /usr/local. __file__ points to the config.py, which makes search for /usr/local/share/cerbero/config fruitless.

At this point we don't recommend running the installed version of cerbero which is not well supported in OS X.
Make sure you really use the uninstalled version with ./cerbero-uninstalled, it's otherwise impossible that you reach this part of the code (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/cerbero/tree/cerbero/config.py#n412)

Yep, that what I end up doing
