Re: Problems to load a C++ tux module (patch)

[Marcus Gruendler <runner tamalin de>]

Hi,

I'm sorry that I have to respond to my own question, but I solved the 
problem. I did not provide all necessary libs.

However, I would have easier found the problem, if tux would be a bit more 
verbose when "dlopen"ing the module. I have attached a patch which prints the 
error message from dlerror() in case of an error.

The patch is against tux-2.0.21 and should not break anything since it's a 
nearly trivial patch.

Bye, Marcus
