I have never used it, but I remember reading once that you also have to 
install wizards_lib  In fact Mandrake software manager lists a whole slew of 
Wizard libraries.

I would also be a bit worried about installing kaffe.   Kaffe is an 
Opensiurce Java VM, and its possible that by installing it you might have 
changed the symlinks to your Sun Java if you have it installed.

Check out the symlinks /usr/bin/java   and /bin/java   to make sure they 
still point to the Sun java VM  (assuming you have it installed)
