dlopen opens shared libraries and maps them to memory.

Usually this error happens when dlopen can't find a shared library.
You will need to see what libraries dlopen expects to find:
Code:
ldd myexecutablefile
will list the libraries and may show which ones cannot be found.

If those libraries aren't where ldd says they are, you add the path for the missing libraries to (depending on you flavor of unix) SHLIB_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If the libraries are not anywhere on the system, then you have to install them.
