Display the rpath entry in the USB net elf binaries - that is how it happens.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH changing is not required.

You do not need to re-compile your binaries, you can use patchelf to change the library path.
patchelf is posted here, both for x86 and armel.

Use the most recent KindleTool from the snapshot thread, that does the packaging.
Be certain to RTFM on KindleTool.

There is no such thing as KUAL compatibility - if the target is executable on armel (or S360), it is compatible.

The K4 was the last Kindle to NOT use X11 in the 'main' OS (K4 'diags' runs X11).
The K4 was a transition device in a lot of ways.
So get your application running on one of the firmware 5.x devices next.
(This is Amazon sales week - a good time to buy. The KT3 (unlighted screen) is the cheapest and includes Bluetooth support. The PW3 (front lit screen) is the best deal for the money. The others are for the "Bragging Rights" people.)

It is an "after market add-in".
'Hack' is a four letter word, this is a public forum, be nice.
