Re: [gtk-list] trying to install glib please help !!!

[Eric Harlow <linuxgeek yahoo com>]

Most likely your old libraries are interfering with your new ones. 
Redhat 5.2 installs glib/gtk, but if you're using 1.1.x series, they
(old gtk libaries) mess up your new GTK/GLIB.  I found it safest to
delete all traces of GTK/GLIB that RedHat installed and rerun your
configuration.
