You may not need the Suse libtdl3 package. I found the source spec
file and took a look. It's just libtool which is already in fedora. I
think the package you need is:

libtool-ltdl

Of course it is the current stable version, 2.4. The Suse package is
called libltdl3, spec file it's using libtool version 1.5..26, which
is the latest suse reference I can find, and is does provide a
libltdl.so.3 soname.

libltdl.so under fedora provides a 7 soversion...

If the Fedora version doesn't work and the Suse version does then
perhaps the version in Fedora is too new?

If that's the case I doubt that the current maintainer for libtool
would want to provide a compat package but if it's needed I could come
up with one and host it on fedorapeople.org.
