But, glib is required by about 100 other packages in
the system; Should I completely uninstall the current
version of gnome and many other applications?

This is the output of "rpm -qa|fgrep glib":
glib-1.2.10-10
glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9
glibc-2.3.2-11.9
glib2-2.2.1-1
glibc-devel-2.3.2-11.9
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.10

I've seen this happen where an RPM of glib was
previously installed, but not glib-devel. When a later
glib is compiled and installed, remnants of the old
RPM installation along side a shiny new glib-2.0
pkgconfig file seem to confuse things.

I'd suggest removing the RPM of glib and reinstalling
the source of 2.4.2.

==================================================
May be there are two glib's. one new and an old
release, lower than 2.4.0. pkg-config finds the old
one.

-Carsten

==================================================
Check that the installation of glib worked with rpm
-qa|fgrep glib

I install the package "glib-2.4.2.tar.bz2" according
to instructions and installation becomes complete
without any errors; Then, I want to install
"pango-1.4.0.tar.bz2" and it returns the error that
"glib 2.4.0 or later is required". I ran "ldconf" but
had no effect!

I am using RedHat 9.0.

Thank you for your notice,
