If you have cross compiled directfb with prefix in host machine ,you will
find Directfb-1.2.3 directory in your $prefix/lib/directory ..so when you
run directfb it will look for sytem,gfxdriver etc in this path .. so One
solution can be this one

copy $prefix/lib/Directfb-1.2.3 directory to board and make sure even board
has same $prefix path ... i mean... let say i have cross compiled Directfb
on host machine with prefix=/opt/my_directfb

then from host machine copy /opt/my_directfb/lib/Directfb-1.2.3 folder to
boards /opt/my_directfb/lib directory (you can create this directory if
doesent exit in board)

I know there must me another solution.. But for time being you can try this
:)

Nice to hear that you have compiled c64x.ko if everything goes fine i
request you to guide me through that compilation .. cause i am still not
able to compile it :(

Ok first thing you copy directfbrc file to $home/.directfbrc let say if you
are root then
/root/.directfbrc .. please notice that  . (dot) is required here. and in
directfbrc file make sure
system, video-phys etc are not commented ..
