This problem occurred because we opened libapr-1.dylib with the
RTLD_LOCAL flag. The RTLD_LOCAL flag specifies that the library we're
loading in is private, and that its symbols should not be shared with
other libraries. Thus, when we loaded libaprutil-1.dylib, we couldn't
find the symbols from libapr-1. I fixed this in ctypesgen by using the
RTLD_GLOBAL flag, which allows the symbols to be shared.
I've also fixed autogen.py to avoid hardcoding the ".so" extension, so
it should be able to find your libraries on Mac OS X now. Could you
update both the ctypes-python-bindings and the ctypesgen library and
try again?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the simple recipe -- this helped me diagnose the problem!
You should be able to avoid this problem by passing in the RTLD_GLOBAL
flag to dlopen. See
