Yes libltdl was installed. I had just built the lastest version of
libtool which is now a split package libltdl-2.4-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
and libtool-2.4-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and locate libltdl.so.7 produced
(and still does) /usr/lib/libltdl.a /usr/lib/libltdl.so
/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7
/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.3.0. Prior to installing those packages
everything worked fine.  I'm not complaining, bitching, griping,
xxxxx, I simply rebuilt imagemagick and calibre and everything now
works fine.  What didn't work was running calibre after doing the new
installion of libltdl without rebuilding imagemagick against the new
libltdl installation. I'm just trying to pass on information in case
some one else ran into the same problem. Hell I don't know, I may have
something misconfigured on my system that gives me wierd errors. I
just try to fix it and keep going and occassionally put something back
into the community especially when I running the testing repos.
