Well, there are only two ways you could get that error ...
1. You are linking with something which is linked with the old library
2. You are not running the executable that you think you are

I guess cause 2 is easiest to check ... you launch the program by  
absolute path
eg.
/home/myname/Gorm.app/Gorm

cause 1 means that you didn't really upgrade everything and have some  
old versions of things around linked to the old base library, and the  
build of Gorm is picking up those old versions for some reason.  I  
guess the gui library and the backend libraries are the likely  
causes, but there may be something else I don't know about.
