Is the a library path problem? If the exists on your system then it
almost certainly is. 

The quick fix is to add the path to libgtkada-2.2.so.1 to your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH i.e. assuming that the library path is blank to start
with, which is usually the case:
$ export  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to library>

The proper fix is to sort out your ldconfig to cash the location of this
library correctly, but I dont know where it is done in Red Hat, Gentoo
puts it in /etc/env.d/
