I also have RH8.0 and had the same problem as you. Unfortunatelly, I didn't
had the time to solve it yet. At least I can give you some informations.
In fact the problem isn't that the compiler doesn't find the libraries but
that these are not all compiled using the same version of the compiler.

As far as I'm concerned, one of the libraries needed wasn't shipped with
RH8.0 and I used one from Ximian... I thing it was libgtkmm...
Anyway, I couldn't yet getting it working.

Please, if you find a working configuration on RH8.0, post it on this list
(which libraries, which versions, which compiler).
