Howdy:

Try calling it as open_dll("libgtk.so")
Linux has already set up links so there's a libgtk.so link which points to
the
latest version (1.2.so...blah), then when a new version comes out, only the
link will have to be updated - not all your programs.

If that doesn't work for you, let me know, I'll be back to the Linux
computer
later today.
