Check the version of MkLinux you are running. According to the updates
page (http://www.mklinux.apple.com/MkLCurrent/updates/), shared libraries
weren't really supported until DR2.1 update 3. I think libdl is part of
libc, so if it doesn't work with the latest MKLinux distribution, you
might want to try using glibc 2 (PPC is not supported in 2.0.x, but is
supposed to be in the developmental 2.1). Check out
http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc for information on this.
