This is mostly harmless, it will only affect support for GP2C, so
you can ignore this problem.

The problem is the use of the FreeBSD dlopen interface to load symbols
in the running binary.  This might be fixed in the development version
(2.2.7). If it is not we would appreciate to know about it.

Cheers,
Bill.
