Handle = 0 indicates a *failure*.  Either try the test script I sent
you, or change your test program to read

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

main()
{
   void *handle = dlopen("/export/spurr1/homes1/ark/test-python/"
		         "Python-2.2.1/build/lib.solaris-2.7-sun4u-2.2/"
			 "struct.so", 2);
   printf ("Handle = %x\n", handle);
   if (handle == 0)
     printf("Error: %s\n", dlerror();
}

and try it again, or, better, both.
