Re: glib-2.0.1 installation problems..

[Jens Finke <jens triq net>]

Hi Erik,

glib-2.0 is _not_ downward compatible with glib-1.2.  But they are 
parallel installable. If you have a program which needs glib 1.2.x it 
just won't work with glib-2.0. Install both libraries (with the same 
prefix) on your computer.

BTW: A better place to discuss this seems to be gtk-app-devel gtk org I 
think.
