I had identical install problems, and this is basically correct. Try doing
"rpm -e gtk". This will give you several other packages which depend on it
(control-panel and it's accessories). You will need to add those to the
rpm -e arguments (can leave off version number). Then, edit
/etc/ld.so.conf and make sure /usr/local/lib is in there, and then run
ldconfig. Then the GIMP should configure and compile without any trouble.
