I had to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and put in /usr/local/lib, then re-run
ldconfig.  Also, my system is redhat 5 and i had to remove the old gtk version
that was installed with redhat 5, i just deleted all the *gtk*, *gdk* and
*glib* from /usr/lib. This worked. Suppose another way would be to rpm --erase
gtk or something similar, would probably do a cleaner job.
