I found out what the problem was Rodrigo.

libgtk-x11-2.0.la is usually in the -devel package (not on RH[8-9]
though AFAICT. It simply does not exist). On Mandrake it exists as an
extra package libgtk-x11-*-devel.

If I remove gtksourceview on my system then libgnomedb compiles cleanly
on RH[8-9].

So in this case it was libgnomedb that compiled something extra when it
noticed gtksourceview was installed and that led to the above error.

What I did was simply remove gtksourceview and recompiled libgnomedb,
and voilá! :)
