Subject: Add a more useful error message if dlopen fails
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?p=glaze;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b7630a8f3277a568695fc59996c8bad34261454

Add a more useful error message if dlopen fails

Previously, we were printing only the name of the library that we failed to
open. Now, we also print the underlying cause for the failure, (as reported
by dlerror).
