I haven't done it lately, but way back when I was experimenting with
using the dlopen functions to load stuff into tcl, the things that had
to be compiled, had to be compiled as shared objects, but they weren't
the same as shared libraries. You could make a simple object file
compile as a shared object, which would come out as a object.so file
(replace object with whatever name comes to mind) not as a libobject.so
file. I think strongly that you'd want to take a look at the linking
line that produces the libpgtcl.so .... it's probably not making the
correct type object. I found the error last time I played with it by
carefully catching every error return from dlopen stuff, and working
with the ld args until it loaded right.
I don't remember the args I used, but it wasn't the same as building a
shared library, and that's probably what's biting.
