I suspect you don't really want to turn off the default rpath. Or if you
do you should probably run the demon with the directory containing
libpcap in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.so.conf.

This is due to a bug between libpcap and hp-ux 11.23. Please see my
notes at http://list.episec.com/debug/msg00008.html for a description of
the problem; you can adapt the solution from there.
