        You upgraded your packages... did you recompile Pan against the new 
library versions?  AFAIK, "undefined symbol" means it was compiled 
against something, which it is therefore trying to use, but the 
installed version of that library does not contain the functionality 
it's trying to access.
        I'd say, "make uninstall", "make clean", then ./configure and rebuild. 
(Or, possibly, "rpm --rebuild ...", "rpm -Uv ..." depending on how you 
build stuff.  :)

        If you did *not* compile this (i.e., installed from binary packages) 
then I'd advise looking for an updated Pan package that was built 
against the libraries you have installed.

        I've also heard of problems with binary packages, caused by the person 
who builds ProgramX.rpm not using the same compiler version as the 
person who build LibraryY.rpm.  Many distributions (such as Mandrake) 
are using GCC version 3.something for their new-release stuff, but many 
folks (such as myself) have not upgraded from version 2.96.  I have no 
idea whether your trouble falls into that category, though.  :/

Good luck,
