I have never used the --with-java=kissme option for compiling classpath.
I don't think it's necessary?

Also, the only options I use when configuring classpath are:

--with-jikes --enable-jni

The problem is that kissme can't find the native .so libraries provided
by classpath.

Did you 'make install' for classpath?

Point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the relevant directory.

On my debian system:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/classpath
