If you had built and installed a gmime package from source, you would
probably have ended up with header files as well as libraries and
executables installed.  RedHat (or whatever similar rpm-based
distribution you're using) typically splits the development files
portion of a package out from the compiled binary, since many users will
never compile packages from source.

A quick search confirms that gmime-devel packages are also available,
and probably need to be installed for pan to compile against.
