Right, it's definitely not a permissions problem, because the dynamic
loader has all the permissions it needs.  The loader is the middleman for
opening any shared libraries.

I tried:

? open_dll("libgtk.so")

and got 0 same as you and Irv...
so I did like David said he did and tried to open /usr/lib/libgtk* all in
the same program... and much to my surprise, some nice fat values were
printed towards the end of the list.

I narrowed it down to:

? open_dll("libgtkxmhtml.so")
? open_dll("libgtk.so")

Why these two depend on each other I don't understand.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Irv:
I seem to remember that SVGAlib required you to change something in the
makefile if you have a glibc2-based system...
Here's the output for mine:
$ ldd /lib/libvga.so
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40051000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)
