gkrellm needs to be linked with the -E (--export-dyanmic) option.  That
should fix your problem.

Any program which opens a shared object that needs to call back into
the parent needs this option.  I guess maybe it's the default on Linux,
or something, because lots of programs fail to include it in their
Makefiles.
