Can anyone tell me please why this is happening to me? You've probably got giflib32 installed someplace other than where they are looking for it. You'll have to find out where it sets the place it's looking for the library, and change that to look where you installed it. Hopefully, this is one setting, and it will then work for all libraries. Given that it's a linux app, I'd guess that it's looking in /usr/lib, and you've got things in /usr/local/lib.
