I tried that, and I get the following:

mnml:/usr/local/tau-2.9# objdump --sym /usr/lib/libiberty.a | grep " dl"
00000000         *UND*	00000000 dlopen
00000000         *UND*	00000000 dlerror
00000000         *UND*	00000000 dlsym

Is there a way I can change it to how you've got yours set up?  If not,
how can I fix this problem?  Like I said, I tried installing the .tar.gz
version and still, same problems.
