SRU justification :

socksify was using a hardcoded location for libdl.so which was false. This patch define
the correct path

Impact :

Without this fix, socksify fails to run

Fix :

Add search logic to identify the correct library path

Test Case :

- Install dante-client and libdsockd0
- run the following :
$ socksify bash

The command should run without complaining about ignored library

Regression :

Should be minimal as the LIBRARY_DLOPEN variable defined is only used to
define SOCKSIFY_PRELOAD_LIBS used in socksify


Original description of the problem :


When I attempt to launch an application (in this case, xvncviewer)
through socksify, I get the message:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libdl.so.2' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be
preloaded: ignored.

This also happens when I tried to run telnet through it.

I have dante.conf configured to instruct socksify to open a SOCKS
connection to a port on the local system which in turn is opened by a
copy of SSH with the -D switch... very handy for running apps quickly on
remote firewalled machines which have accessible SSH hosts near them
without needing a full blown VPN or hand mapping the ports. Worked fine
in 10.04...
