Not much information here:

 - What version of GTK+? Imlib? etc.
 - How did you (or the user) build the binary 
 - Backtrace
 - Etc.

One possible problem is that if your binary is linked against 
libpng10 directly you may run into problems with imlib on 
Red Hat 8 which uses libpng-1.2.

Running software compiled on Red Hat 7.x is generally not supported
with Red Hat 8.0 -- it usually works, but we don't make any
guarantees in this area, especially for libraries like Imlib.
