Make sure you have re-run ldconfig *after* you built and installed
/opt/gnome/lib64/libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1, so as to make sure the system
itself knows it is there and all of the proper symlinks have been made.
You always need to re-run ldconfig after modifying /etc/ld.so.conf.

What happens if you define LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/gnome/lib64 before
running gnucash?  Also, does your link step properly reference
/opt/gnome/lib64/libgtk-1.2.so (eg "-L/opt/gnome/lib64 -lgtk-1.2")? 
Maybe you need yet another option to the configure step...
