I am not at all perfectly sure, but your problem may be related
to a flaw in gcc for HP-UX.

>From the gcc-2.952 man-page:

| -mshared-libs

Although it may be not a challenge for you: There are prebuild 
dynamically linked binaries of most Gnome packages (including 
ORBit-0.5.4) available at the HP-UX Software Porting Centre at 

http://hpux.cict.fr/hppd/hpux/Gnome/ 

I am not yet running Gnome on HP-UX, but I would be interested 
in your experiences in setting up Gnome for HP-UX. Would you
mind posting a brief summary or CDE-to-Gnome-HowTo or something
like that?

Best regards - Juergen.
