pfdLoadFile is finding dso's that are compatible with the Performer you
have compiled against. Apparently, you don't have a 15.2 version of the
loader lib for pf2.1. Even if the file is in the lib dir, it may be
incompatible with the pf2.1 dso's. You can check the version number of
the lib with: elfdump -L libpfflt_ogl.so | grep IVERS.

If the IVERSION is 3.0, the lib is compatible with pf2.1. If the
IVERSION is 2.2, the lib is for pf2.0.2.
