You can't (easily).  Pretty much everything GNOME related tends to
do various hacking about in configure scripts to check for versions
which is not an ideal situation.

If you're not into configure scripts, you could probably do some
hackery with the output of:

	anaconda 5% gnome-config --modversion 
	gnome-libs-1.0.55

but it's not going to be pretty.

Next shared library version number bump for gnomelibs is likely to
be with the release of GNOME 1.2 (or whatever it gets called).

See the mailing lists archives for all the gory details of the
(many) times this has been discussed :)
