The file you download from Compaq contains the files 

 cpml_ev5-5.1.0-2.alpha.rpm
 jdk-1.3.1-beta-linux-alpha.rpm
 libots-2.2.7-2.alpha.rpm

I've debbed them all.  In a mail, Per Wigren told me that due to a bug
in aliens rpm2cpio, the relevant .so file is of size 0. He recommended
me to run rpm "raw", but the idiotic program won't accept "--force" to
ignore things like "/bin/sh" missing. At least that's what I found out
in a cursory check. More tomorrow.
