Still an a.out compatibility directory? Quite an old distribution.

If you're using a Redhat RPM based Linux distribution, use rpm to remove
the older glib and gtk (see the RPM manpage). Than download the latest
gtk+glib 1.2.6 rpms and install those. For a Debian based distribution,
use dpkg, dselect or apt-get, and install the latest glib+gtk 1.2.6 debs.

If you installed glib 1.2.1 yourself from a tar file, the easiest way is
to use "make uninstall" in the glib 1.2.1 source directory. After that,
add "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.conf.so, run ldconfig, and configure and
install glib and gtk.
