The configure script uses pkg-config to check for the presence
of gmime, and pkg-config will look in your pkgconfig directory
for the file gmime-2.0.pc, which is a text file containing, for
one thing, the version number.  Mine has the line "Version: 2.2.10".

Sometimes, using rpm files, a separate development version of the
rpm is needed if you are to compile programs using a library, so maybe
you need that.  I compiled gmime from source, and the pkgconfig file
was installed on my system then.
