Do you get undefined references right from htmlview? In any case, you
seem
to mix libltdl and libtool as libtool doesn't do any dlsyms. In case you
have
real trouble (which seems to be true :), try to use -dlopen on the
generated
libraries while linking the executable. This should also work on
libraries,
but will only affect the generated .la file to make libtool do the real
-dlopen
while creating konqueror. Note that all of this is a bit tricky to do
portable
(and having possible static libs in mind - which we do not have, but
libtool
has support for that, which we used for kcontrol and koffice once)

Greetings, Stephan
