Permission denied is fine. find attempts to search everything including directories you don’t have permissions for. If you have no access to those directories, it’s a good bet your library won’t be there.

I'd prefer an answer that looks in specific assumed directories for the dylib, but lets see what it finds. Two questions, one I get permission denied on some folders is that okay to skip? Also can I stop on found solution? | |

You just need a simple command like find / -name dylib to search every directory from the root on. To limit to /usr/local just add that to the command find /usr/local …
