Try this.  It will spew a lot, but you should see a hint in there,
someplace.

        -seth



  in libltdl/ltdl.c:

  static lt_module
  sys_dl_open (loader_data, filename)
       lt_user_data loader_data;
       const char *filename;
  {
    lt_module   module   = dlopen (filename, LT_GLOBAL | LT_LAZY_OR_NOW);
  
    if (!module)
      {
  >>>      fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", dlerror ());
        MUTEX_SETERROR (DLERROR (CANNOT_OPEN));
      }
  
    return module;
    }
