I don't know why Etheral checks for LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It shouldn't be
used on Solaris, except for debugging, experimentation and some
very special things. The only good reason for check would be to disable
it, but the message doesn't imply that.

Edit your glib-config and gtk-config. Find a place which is responsible
for *-config --libs. glib-config probably outputs "-L/usr/local/lib -lglib".
Add -R/usr/local/lib there. Do the same for gtk-config. You'll probably
see that it already outputs -R/usr/openwin/lib, but it doesn't
output -R/usr/local/lib. Add -R/usr/local/lib and remove -R/usr/openwin/lib.

You can also remove -L/usr/openwin/lib. And you can remove
-I/usr/openwin/include as well. Those two are not a source of the problem,
but they are unnesessary.
