have you installed the perl bindings as well?

Gtk.pm is the main entry point for Gtk-Perl, the perl bindings for gtk+ 1.x. 
it sounds like you are trying to run a Gtk-Perl program and you don't have
Gtk-Perl installed.  IIRC, Gtk-Perl is on the redhat cds but not offered to
you from the installer.  you're looking for version 0.7008 or 0.7009.  if you
can't find those on the cds, they are available from CPAN and also from
http://www.gtkperl.org .


PLEASE NOTE, however, that Gtk-Perl is obsolete, as it provides bindings to
the obsolete gtk+ 1.x series.  the current bindings, Gtk2-Perl
(http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net), provide access to gtk+ 2.x, but are not
source-compatible with Gtk-Perl.

er, do you mean libc.so.5?  i have never heard of gtklib.so.5.
