Strange error regarding libmlib.so.2 after upgrading to gcc3.4.6

Question

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my sparc Solaris 10 system to gcc3.4.6, plus a BUNCH of additional tools and libraries that rely on gcc3.4.6 libraries, from www.sunfreeware.com. I'm now getting a very strange error on a few of the tools, regarding the libmlib.so.2 library.
For example, when attempting to run gtk-demo, I'm getting the following:
sun440:root# gtk-demo
ld.so.1: gtk-demo: fatal: libmlib.so.2: version `SUNW_2.3' not found (required by file /usr/local/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0)
ld.so.1: gtk-demo: fatal: libmlib.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
If I do an ldd on gtk-demo, this is what I see:
sun440:root# ldd /usr/local/bin/gtk-demo

I am also getting this same error repeatedly when trying to run Firefox 3.6. Any ideas? I do have this library installed:
sun440:root# ls -la /usr/lib/libmlib*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 15 2006 /usr/lib/libmlib.so -> ./libmlib.so.2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 20260528 Jan 22 2005 /usr/lib/libmlib.so.2
Any ideas? It's very frustrating. Thanks in advance,

I don't understand how that would help. libmlib.so.2 is not part of gcc, it's from Sun package SUNWmlib. There is no libmlib.so.2 as part of the gcc or gcclibs packages from sunfreeware.
I did do a search for all instances of libmlib.so.2, and I got the following results:
./usr/lib/sparcv9/libmlib.so.2
./usr/lib/cpu/sparcv8plus/libmlib.so.2
./usr/lib/cpu/sparcv8plus+vis/libmlib.so.2
./usr/lib/cpu/sparcv9+vis/sparcv9/libmlib.so.2
./usr/lib/cpu/sparcv9+vis2/sparcv9/libmlib.so.2
./usr/lib/cpu/sparcv9+vis2/libmlib.so.2
./usr/lib/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv8/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv8plus/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv8plus+vis/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv8plus+vis2/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv9/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv9+vis/libmlib.so.2
./opt/SUNWmlib/lib/sparcv9+vis2/libmlib.so.2
Then, as a test, I updated my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to incorporate the paths so the various versions would be seen first, and it did not make any difference. I keep getting this when running ldd on gtk-demo:
libmlib.so.2 (SUNW_2.3) => (version not found)
libmlib.so.2 (SUNW_2.3) => (version not found)
libXrender.so.1 (RENDER_0.6) => (version not found)
I'm also confused about the libXrender not being found as well. Can anyone else shed some light on this? Thanks!
