Re: help - gtk+2.2.1 and RH8

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Do the following AFTER you reinstall 2.0.6

 (By the way, did you try to start any application that crashed from the
console window ? What was the result ?)

  1) Intall glib with:
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk2_2_1

  2) Then, after glib is installed, edit your $HOME/.bashrc and add the
following:
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1/bin:$PATH
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
   3) Open another console window (MAKE SURE it is new console window !) (You
could just source-in your .bashrc, but open another one just in case )

   4) On the new console window, install all the other packages with
     ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk2_2_1

    5) You are done.

  The application finds the correct libs based on LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable. Thus you MUST make sure the new gtk-libs path comes first on the list
( thus export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH )
You know, the gtk2.0.6 library will be

  NO, if it was set as above, the new ones will be found first.

  YES, but it is automatically run when you add to your .bashrc (NOT when you
restart linux, but when you open a new console window.) Therefore, all the
other applications on the system will pickup the libs that came with REDHAT
(when youstart them from the menu/panel), while your applications will pickup
the newer GTK libs.
