RE: installing 2.8

[Matt Eisemann <meisemann dsrnet com>]

thanks for your help, it appears that it works now and for me setting the 
GLIB_CONFIG variable does not work either way.  It had to be set with the 
file name included in the path.  The configure script worked but I have not 
tried the rest yet.  It looks like it all worked.  I never tried the -R 
option in glib-config but it looks like it worked anyway. Thanks once again 
for your help.

	It appears either way works.  It seems to me just a qustion of
preference.
