Change this to "RTLD_NOW".

Add:
else printf( "dlopen failed: %s\n", dlerror());

This can only happen if the "get_iplugin_info" function in your
module references symbols defined in a shared object not loaded
before it was loaded.
Use "nm foo.So" for the shared object for the module "foo.so" to
see what external suymbols are referenced by the module.

Ah. You are using glib. That's implicitly broken. Don't use
glib, and your problem will go away.

Create a module "wrapper.so" that dlopen's glib.so.xxx, and *then*
dlopen's your module, and then reflects the interfaces down.
Alternately, don't use glib: it's intrinsically broken, by design.
