Re: [gtk-list] Cannot configure gtk+-1.2.6

[Rob Huffstedtler <rob bagpipe com>]

I had this problem last night.  It may be that you have an older version 
of glib-config around, and it is in your path before the one you just
installed.

Do a 
which glib-config, then run that glib-config with --version.

If it doesn't return 1.2.6, you probably have an extra copy.  Use find
and remove the old version (in my case I had to remove some the libs
too, which were residing in /usr/lib).
