Did you install gtkmm3 via package or compile it yourself?  If you compiled
it yourself (and used "sudo make install" of course), sometimes libraries in
/usr/local/lib don't seem to get picked up straight away.

First of all, try running "sudo ldconfig", and then see if your app runs.

If not, it might fix itself after a little while but in the meantime you can
use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH path/to/your/app"
