Error while opening shared object: SunGrid Engine

Question

Hi all,
My application uses the Sun N1 grid engine through the API DRMAA present as shared object libdrmaa.so .
I am using dlopen and dlsym to acess functions of the library. That works fine. Now if I try to link it form command line the executable is built but executing it gives the error " Cannot open shared object file".
Can anyone suggest what may be the reason.
I am using g++ 2.95.3 for compilation and the machine is linux x86_64.

Thanx

Your question and answer are both very confused: if you can link your executable directly against libdrmaa.so, then there is absolutely no good reason to also dlopen that same library (and presumably call dlsym() on its handle as well).
