You should be compiling and running everything Oracle-related under
Linux emulation, and if you installed the linux_devtools port, you
should have libdl in /compat/linux/lib. I suspect that either you
aren't running under Linux emulation or that you don't have that port
installed.

If you're stuck then you're stuck, but I really would recommend trying
to at least get away from 5.1, which really wasn't a production-
quality release.
