Like almost every package distributed as rpms, libgda will have both a
runtime and a developer package. The package you have installed is the
runtime package, which includes the shared library that programs uses at
run time. The libgda-devel package is also required, since it supplies
header files, *.pc files and a few other things required to build
packages that use libgda.so.
