This sounds exactly like the problems I initially had with KDE on
DragonFly. Check whether it is using libtool's dlopen wrapper, since it
seems to believe that the system dlopen either can't support hard-coded
search paths (known bug in the last 1.5 version of libtool) or can't
trace dependency libs.
