error while compiling libhand examples - compilation

Question

I am trying to compile the examples of libhand, but I get the following output:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libOgreMainStatic.a(OgreDynLib.cpp.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlopen##GLIBC_2.1'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'dlopen##GLIBC_2.1' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bend_one_finger] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/bend_one_finger.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
The same thing happens when I try to compile my own example using the direction from libhand example. I believe it has something to do with the configuration file of libhand (LibHandConfig.cmake).
The same example compiles fine when I build it as a part of libhand, the problem occurs when I try to use libhand as a package (using cmake's FIND_PACKAGE() )

Not a complete answer, but just a step toward:
try to issue the following command after you got the make error:
/usr/bin/c++ CMakeFiles/example.dir/example.cc.o -o example -rdynamic -ldl -lXt /path/libs/libHand/hand_cpp/dist/libhand_hog.a /path/libs/libHand/hand_cpp/dist/libhand_renderer.a /path/libs/libHand/hand_cpp/dist/libhand_utils.a -lopencv_core -lopencv_flann -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_cudaarithm -lopencv_cudawarping -lopencv_ml -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_cuda -lopencv_cudafilters -lopencv_cudaimgproc -lopencv_video -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_cudaoptflow -lopencv_photo -lopencv_videostab -lopencv_ts -lopencv_cudacodec -lopencv_ocl -lopencv_superres -lopencv_cudafeatures2d -lopencv_nonfree -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_softcascade -lopencv_shape -lopencv_optim -lopencv_cudastereo -lopencv_cudabgsegm -lopencv_contrib -lopencv_bioinspired /path/libs/libHand/hand_cpp/dist/libdot_sceneloader.a /path/libs/libHand/hand_cpp/dist/libtinyxml.a /usr/local/lib/libOgreMainStatic.a -lzzip -lz -lfreeimage -lfreetype -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext -lXaw -lXrandr -ltbb /usr/local/lib/OGRE/libRenderSystem_GLStatic.a -lGLU -lGL /usr/local/lib/libOgreMainStatic.a -lzzip -lz -lfreeimage -lfreetype -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext -lXaw -lXrandr -ltbb /usr/local/lib/OGRE/libRenderSystem_GLStatic.a -lGLU -lGL /usr/local/lib/OGRE/libPlugin_OctreeSceneManagerStatic.a -ldl
If it succeeds than you have to manually add -ldl to the end of your libraries list ( target_link_libraries(example ${SOME_LIBS} ${OTHER_LIBS} -ldl) ). It seems that the configuration part of LibOGRE is slightly incorrect (it doesn't include a library libdl necessary to carelessly link application with it.
