What could the error message mean?
A `shared object' file, as the name itself implies is the object file that is shareb by many programs. You have a bunch of them put up in /usr/lib. It is a DLL (dynamic linked library), which is linked at runtime. Your error suggests that GTK is not installed properly, try reinstalling it. Uninstall can be done with rpm -e <pkg name>. Then again install the GTK rpm, and yes, take care of the dependencies while install/uninstall process.
Properly uninstalling GTK will involve removing every Gnome package. I think RPM has some option to reinstall a package and overwrite existing files. Use it if possible.
If not, and you need to uninstall gtk, you whould use the --nodeps option, and make sure you replace it with the same version as you removed, or else other programs may fail.
You might also need to re-run ldconfig. (Or maybe RPM does it for you... I don't know, I'm more a tarball fan.)
