I'm not sure but I had some problems looking up symbols, too (with 
Libchipcard).

The problem there was that symbols have the prefix "_" (underscore) in 
OpenBSD.

Example:
Function "GetUser()"
Under Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD/Windoze the name to lookup via dlsym(3) would be 
"GetUser". However, OpenBSD needs "_GetUser".

Well, maybe that's of any help to you ?

I got Libchipcard to work with OpenBSD this way, but I didn't get any answer 
to the port submission so far...

regards
Martin
