woah...2.3.90? Thats the version in fedora development (ie, rawhide).

Where did you get gqview? From fedora-extras for development? 
If so, it would have had dependencies to development libs...

You should get it from the fc4 fedora-extras if you are running fc4. 

gqview works great on my fc4 laptop. 
It also works on my fedora development test box, but they are _not_
linked against the same libs...
