I'd go looking for what library had "dlopen" in it. First thing would be
to RTFM, which down the bottom has;
If this program were in a file named "foo.c", you would build the
program with the following command:
gcc -rdynamic -o foo foo.c -ldl
Other things would be "use 'nm' on all the files in /lib and look for
something that exported dlopen()."
