How did you compile it?
and why are you linking to Debian repository? I thought they are not compatible.

Is it possible to supply the libraries that it needs with the program and set the library path to use them?

I could only compile the 1.2 version, which segfaults. How do you compile the 2.0?
I get two errors and loads of probably related warnings.
kanjipad.c:42: error: syntax error before '*' token
kanjipad.c:68: error: syntax error before "menu_items"
I don't see any clear violation of C syntax other than something might be declared in (probably missing) header file.
