It seems that something is wrong with the gtk library.
Try to update gtk too.

I already updates the gtk and glib libraries.. it still would return with the same problems

@anoopkmr

I had the same problem when updating SuSE 9.2 to 10.0.
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 : undefined symbol g_option_context_new

As root run:

# touch /var/adm/SuSEconfig/run-gtk ; SuSEconfig
