I'll hazard a guess and say that it is probably an error in the
config file, perhaps -- in spite of all assurances to the contrary --
due to extracting it in the wrong directory or on the wrong disk?
It would help if you could produce the exact errormessage.  Indeed,
your request for help is utterly useless without it :)

Another possibility: the self-extracting archive is incomplete and
depends on files not included, which are present on your harddisk
but not on hers.

Easiest way: find an existing kfun which is closest in arguments and
return value to the new kfun you want to make, copy it, and adapt it.
The frame structure is defined in dgd/src/interpret.h.
