Rex:

I discussed this with the developer (Carsten Pfeiffer).  Although the 
RPM package for ImLib is dependent on GTK, KuickShow does not use it. 
It is possible to build ImLib without GTK ( --without-gtk).  However, 
this only seems to work if "gtk-config" doesn't exist.

So, you only have the one old library: "ImLib".  I would suggest static 
linking -building against the static ImLib library, except that I tried 
it and it doesn't seem to work.  I don't know if this is a CMake issue 
or a KuickShow issue.
