RE: [gtk-list] Re: gtk 1.2.6 prob

["Bruce Lee" <Bruce_Lee mailandnews com>]

Ok I got rid of the old glib-config and the new one (1.2.6) is now in
/usr/local and I also deleted /usr/lib/lib and /usr/lib/libglib* but still
no luck.  When I try to install this gftp-2.0.6a prg it says gFTP needs GTK+
1.2.3 or higher and again, I dont know how to check the version I have.

So I go to install gtk1.2.6 and upon running ./configure, it compiles a
bunch of things and finally says:  checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.4...

*** 'glib-config --version' return 1.2.6, but GLIB (1.2.1)
*** was found! If glib-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLIB.  You may also be able to fix the
error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or by editting
*** /etc/ld.so.conf.  Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If glib-config was wrong, set the environment variable GLIB_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file
config.cache
*** before re-running configure
no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.2.4 or better is required.

ONce again...I've installed glib1.2.6 but obviously something else still
needs to be changed and I dunno what or how.  I wish there was a
glib1.2.6.rpm as  rpm's are much easier to install :)

To see what version of glib you have installed try 'glib-config
--version'

Now if you are certain you installed 1.2.6 and the command above says
1.2.1, you might have a glib-config in your path that belongs to an old
install. The older install probably has put the glib-config script in a
bin directory that has precedence over the bin directory where 1.2.6's
glib-config was installed.

Try 'locate glib-config' and if your locate database is not up to date,
'find / -name glib-config'

That SHOULD come back with only one such file in your various bin
directories. If not, delete both, and do another install of glib-1.2.6.
(It might also come up with manpages and files from the source tree,
ignore those, just look at files which are in bin/ directories, or other
directories which are in your PATH)

And uninstalling the old one should be easy if you installed with RPM.
Have a peek at the rpm manpage (I don't have a clue about rpm because I
work with FreeBSD)

If you didn't use any form of packages to install try 'glib-config
--prefix' (before you throw it away of course). From the directory
displayed I think you need to delete lib/glib/ and lib/libglib*
