gnome-core compile error

[Patrick Colbeck <pat colbeck esc azlan co uk>]

Hi

I am trying to get gnome-core to compile on RedHat 5.1. I am using the 
CVS tree version. It gives the following error

Making all in panel
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pcolbeck/Gnome/CVS/gnome-core/panel'
idl --name gnome-panel ./gnome-panel.idl
idl: error in loading shared libraries
libmico2.0.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [gnome-panel.cc] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pcolbeck/Gnome/CVS/gnome-core/panel'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pcolbeck/Gnome/CVS/gnome-core'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

libmico is in /usr/loc	al/lib thus

[root@dasterdly lib]# ls -l libmico*
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     root      2563108 Jul 14 15:14 libmico2.0.5.a
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     root      1877764 Jul 14 15:14 libmico2.0.5.so

This i sdriving me nuts. I get a similar thing with balsa in that it
compiles OK then when I try and run  it I get this error

[root@dasterdly lib]# balsa 
balsa: error in loading shared libraries
libgnomeui.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@dasterdly lib]# 

Again the library is in /usr/local/lib

Any ideas greatfully received.
