A suggestion from Uncle George forced me to write a simple example, and
that led me into interpreting the error. After looking up the man page
for dlopen on my Irix machine (none on my alpha), I discovered dlerror
(). Its error message points to the unresolved symbol that caused the
failure to open. For now, I assume that it's my problem and not a bug
in libdl. I'll bring it up again, only if I determine that the symbol
should have been resolved.
