Did you also check that there were no files named for example libgdk-x11-2.0.so* in /usr/local/lib or anywhere else on the system except for /opt/gnome/lib?

To me that sounds like it's picking up a 2.2 version of libgdk which didn't have that symbol. You could try running: ldd /path/to/gimp-2.0 to see which shared libraries it depends on. If it seems to pick up libgdk or libgtk from any other directory than /opt/gnome/lib (if that's where you installed GTK+), then you have a problem. You could also check the result of ldd /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 You can run objdump -T /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 | grep lock to make sure that the gdk_threads_lock symbol indeed exists in the libgdk you built. It should be listed in the output from grep. Hope this helps Robert
