Re: gtk+-2.2.1 installation problem [something more]

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 The .pc will always have the 2.0 for version 2 of GTK. Vi the file and see
what the real version says:

  On mine:
Name: GLib
Description: C Utility Library
Version: 2.2.0                 <=================== This is the real version.
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include
   

  NOTE: Since Gtk2.2.1 is binary compatible with 2.0.6 (which seems to be the
version that you have installed) -- If you mix them up some weird stuff WILL
start to happen. You should avoid "upgrading" to the same directory. Perhaps
you should do as I suggested, i.e, install it on /opt/GTK2.2.1 and edit your
.profile or shell script to reflect the PATH and stuff. i.e.

  export PATH=/opt/GTK2.2.1/bin:$PATH
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/GTK2.2.1/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/GTK2.2.1/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

 
 Once you see that it works ok and you can run old installed programs, you may
upgrate to the /usr/local dir.

  Again, this is just a suggestion that has worked for me for a long time.
