Re: error in loading shared libraries!

[Ian Peters <itp-gnome-list geodesic res cmu edu>]

Not necessarily the best idea.  You might have an old copy of
libgdk_imlib around, especially if you have a Red Hat system.  You
need to make sure that the right copy of libgdk_imlib is being used to
link.  Try `ldd <some gnome app>`, and see if it is linking against
the correct version.  If you need it to find the CVS version first,
change the order in /etc/ld.so.conf, so that the path to the correct
library first.
