At DEBUG level, pfdLoadFile() is reports each attempt to locate a loader DSO
using the search paths given by PFLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and also
some hardcoded paths (see pfdLoadFile.c).

Eventually the loader dso in question is found, say for instance in
/usr/lib/libpfdb .

As shipped, perfly 2.x does not statically link with _any_ loaders. To call a
loader directly in your modified perfly you need to edit perfly's Makefile and
add particular loader libraries to the beginning of the IGLLIB and/or OGLLIB
variable definitions. Here's the lines with libpfflt inserted:

IGLLIB = -lpfflt_igl -lpf_igl -lpfdu_igl -lpfutil_igl -lpfui
OGLLIB = -lpfflt_ogl -lpf_ogl -lpfdu_ogl -lpfutil_ogl -lpfui

Regards.
