Failed to load shared object file vixDiskLib.so

I am trying to access VMDK from a unix application using VDDK 1.1, I am using dynamic loading i.e. using dlopen, dlsym and dlclose.

The library is installed at /usr/local/lib/vmware-vix-disklib/

The dlopen, dlsym, dlclose operations do not report any problem neither do VixDiskLib_Init and VixDiskLib_Connect

but VixDiskLib_Open fails with error: VixDiskLib: Failed to open shared object file vixDiskLib.so: no such file or directory.

Please note that while doing VixDiskLib_Init, I am supplying parameter libdir as /usr/local/lib/vmware-vix-disklib/lib64

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

VixDiskLib_Init and _Connect are from vixDiskLib.so, so I am not sure what is going on here. Is the error reported really 'vixDiskLib.so' (perhaps vixDiskLibVim.so?)

Thanks
