dlopen, dlsym and dlerror are *functions*, not console commands. Well, I
never tried the latter, but it appears they are not on your system ;-)

Now, I don't know where exactly these functions are declared (in which
unit, that is), but for debugging purposes, just add

    Function dlopen(filename: PChar; flags: cint): Pointer; cdecl; external;
    Function dlclose(handle: Pointer): cint; cdecl; external;
    Function dlsym(handle: Pointer; Name: PChar): Pointer; cdecl; external;
    Function dlerror: PChar; cdecl; external;

Somewhere in your code before you call them.
