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.

Yes, I'm using Redhat v6...you said to dload and install the latest gtk+glib
1.2.6 rpms...well, there aren't any that I could find..they all have to be
compiled and so when I run ./configure for gtk1.2.6, it  comes telling me
that glib 1.2.4 or better is required...actually, this is the full msg:

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

*** If glib-config was wrong, set the environment variable GLIB_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file

*** before re-running configure
no
configure: error:

as for removing the old glib and gtk...they were installed with redhat so I
dont know the exact package names to remove. If I did know, I guess I'd be
saying: rpm -e package.rpm to remove it?
