Try recompiling the whole thing with "CFLAGS=-g CXXFLAGS=-g".  It may
help explain why lt_dlopen failed, if perhaps something is wrong with
dso_open.

Another fall-back option is to configure with "--disable-shared",
which will link in component libraries right into the sid binary.

sid tries to locate its component shared libraries using several
means, including the SID_EXEC_PREFIX environment variable, and the
location of its own executable.  Because of the latter, it should
just work without additional environment settings.
