Better Error message for missing symbols

[Sarvi Shanmugham]

Today when loading the library I simply get "cannot load library libxyz.so"

printable_filename = filename_or_null ? filename_or_null : "<None>";

    handle = dlopen(filename_or_null,

                    RTLD_LAZY | (is_global?RTLD_GLOBAL:RTLD_LOCAL));

    if (handle == NULL) {

        PyErr_Format(PyExc_OSError, "cannot load library: %s",

                     printable_filename);

        return NULL;

    }

Instead the following might provide more information for debugging that also tells us what symbols were missing.

PyErr_Format(PyExc_OSError, "cannot load library: %s", dlerror());

Thx,

Sarvi
