Im new to linux so im a bit stuck as to what to do. ive = I'm willing to bet the problem is that you have installed the glib2 RPM (to let already-compiled programs *run*), but failed to install glib2-devel which contains the stuff needed to *compile* programs. There's also -devel packages for atk, pongo, and gtk2 (in fact, *most* packages have a version 'foo' for *running* stuff and 'foo-devel' if you intend to build software that uses it). -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
