Basically this is due to HP's linker hardcodes the location of the
shared library into the executable! (Same for the IBM AIX linker)
  
This of course causes the shared lib "../kaffevm/libkaffevm.sl" not
to be found :( (in fact ANY lib created during make using a relative
path...) 
 
One has to relink the binaries AFTER the shared libraries have been
installed at their proper places. I did that and now it works fine.
Gimp & GTk use a tool called "libtool" for that - which re-links
the binaries during "make install":

See: http://www.profitpress.com/libtool/libtool.html

That's one more reason to call it "HP-SUX".
