Before I go to answering your question, just a quick hint for the
future: in my experience, people are more likely to reply quickly if
you use a more descriptive subject-line to your email.  I know that
some people will ignore emails with subject lines like "help me" or
"please help", while, if the subject was more descriptive, they would
help.

I'll echo what others have said about just running it remotely off the
cs machines.  Depending on a lot of different things, you may be able
to just ssh in like normal.  If that doesn't work, try adding the -X
or -Y flag.  (For some reason, some people have success with one and
not the other of these...)

As for why it's not working at home, it says that it's not able to
find gtkmm-2.0.

When I see a problem like that, I generally use either 'yum search' or
'yum list | grep ...' to find the necessary package.  For your case, I
ran 'yum list | grep gtkmm', and a couple different packages came up. 
My recommendation would be to install gtkmm, and if that doesn't work,
install gtkmm-devel as well.

(to install a package using yum: 'yum install <package-name>')
