May be in fedora 8, the gtkmozembed library path is set somewhere
permanently (e.g. in /etc/ld.so.conf). In other systems, it is
inside /usr/lib/firefox and strangely not all versions of that library
(usually shipped with other mozilla products) work interchangably. You
need to be able to find the same lib used to compile the executable.
That is why both devhelp and anjuta has rpath to ensure that exact lib
is used. Otherwise you get strange crashes if either of these programs
load a different version of that lib (try running anjuta without the
rpath and after installing seamonkey).

In fact, anjuta inherits the same rpath used by devhelp from its
pkgconfig file.
