You are probably better off compiling glib. I did so for CentOS-5:
glib-2.37.5
gmime-2.6.17
libevent-2.0.21
libzdb-2.12
compiling these myself for CentOS-5 gave me a stable platform for
dbmail-3.1 and beyond.
DBMail does not require gmime to be thread-safe. I've never counted on
it being so since Jeff clearly stated gmime probably wasn't. But I've
also always been more than a bit suspicious about memory leaks occurring
because gmime isn't/wasn't thread-safe. So if Jeff decided that gmime is
better off with mutexes to make it thread-safe I wouldn't bet against it.
