As I said before: both of biditext and gtkbidi use fribidi, and fribidi
uses glib. Maybe fribidi fails to use the existing glib. Try rebuilding
fribidi.
I would also like to know if rebuilding fribidi is enough (that
is: assuming that rebuilding frbidi solves the problem: will it work with
the original biditext/tgtkbidi binaries?)
Also note that nwwer versions of fribidi (0.9) can be built without glib
(I am unaware of any rpm version of that, though).
