Most obvious suspicion is that you haven't got the dlfcn.h file in
place. I seem to recall that there was a problem with the .rpm file
for that. You can get an updated .rpm from RedHat, I think (do they
keep updates for older versions?) or just fish the file out of the
corresponding .src.rpm package (or your work machine for that matter).
Also, they forgot to set up the links for /lib/libdl.so.* which gives
problems with linking later on.
