Dynamic library

Hi all,

I've been trying get an example of loading a .so but it doesn't work.
Here's the lib:

#include "stdio.h"

void testme(void)
{
printf("Hello From Lib!");
}

And this is compiled as:
gcc -fPIC -shared file.c -o libmystuff.so

Then here's the file which tries to load it:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "dlfcn.h"

int main()
{
printf("Going to call library code\n");

void* handle = dlopen("/home/gamehack/shared/libmystuff.so)",
RTLD_LAZY);

if(!handle)
{
printf("not able to load\n");
char* errstr = dlerror();

if(errstr != NULL)
{
printf("%s\n", errstr);
}

return 1;
}

typedef void (*hello_t)();

hello_t hello = (hello_t) dlsym(handle, "testme");

if(!hello)
{
printf("Error!");
dlclose(handle);
}

hello();

printf("Closing the lib\n");
dlclose(handle);

return 0;
}

But it always fails:
gamehack@loopy:~/shared$ ./main
Going to call library code
not able to load
/home/gamehack/shared/libmystuff.so): cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

But gamehack@loopy:~/shared$ ls -al /home/gamehack/shared/ gives:
-rw-r--r-- 1 gamehack gamehack 948 2006-01-26 17:14 libmystuff.so

Any pointers why this is happening?
