I have impression your system is seriously messed up. Why is the library 
located in /usr/local/lib/ used if you claim you have installed gnome by 
rpms? rpm usually installs ggnome with prefix=/usr or /opt/gnome. Make 
sure you do not have mess in /usr/local and your /etc/ld.so.conf have 
correct order of libraries (you might want to have /usr/local last).

Really, if you get this kind of errors, you should carefully clean up your 
system and reconsider your installing strategy for the future.
