[xmlsec] ltdl problem on Solaris

[Russell Beall]

Thanks for the tips.

With the sample code in place, the error message now looks like:
func=xmlSecCryptoDLInit:file=dl.c:line=396:obj=unknown:subj=lt_dlinit:error=7:io function failed:invalid loader
func=xmlSecInit:file=xmlsec.c:line=42:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecCryptoDLInit:error=1:xmlsec library function failed: 

libltdl was freshly compiled and installed for use with this custom installation of various libraries for this project, and ldd seems to indicate that all the shared libraries are pointing to the correct libltdl.

libtool is version 2.2 which creates libltdl.so.7.1.0

I've noticed that the project file also links to libdl.so.  Could that be interfering?

Russ.
