Sorry for the delay -- my INBOX management skills suck.  :-(

No, this is not familiar.  That symbol -- opal_show_help_string -- should 
definitely be in libopen-pal.so.

I do see -L/usr/lib in the command line, though, which is worrysome.  I've seen 
problems when system-default library locations are manually listed in the 
command line (i.e., -L/usr/lib should probably *not* be listed in the command 
line; it can disrupt the order of search paths for libraries...?).
