problems with glibc -- please help

[Joelle Nakhle <joelle nakhle polymtl ca>]

Hi,

I downloaded glibc 2.2.2, pango 1.2.3 and atk 1.2.4 in order to install gtk.  I
installed glibc and it seemes to have installed properly.  But when i try to
install pango or atk it tells me:


checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.3... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** Glib 2.1.3 or better is required. The latest version of
*** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.



Waht is GLIB test program?  I went into my glib directory and then in the test
directory.  I tried running ./testglib, which i thought was what they were
talking about before and this is what i get:


** (process:9292): WARNING **: harmless warning with parameters: 42 Boo 0x3039
** Message: the next warning is a test:

(process:9292): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmessages.c: line 840 (g_print):
assertion `format != NULL' failed
checking endian macros (host is little endian)...ok
checking file functions...
g_file_open_tmp correctly returns error: Template 'zap/barXXXXXX' invalid,
should not contain a '/'
g_file_open_tmp for template 'zapXXXXXX' used name '/tmp/zapAHZwJ2'
g_file_open_tmp for NULL template used name '/tmp/.CTE945'



What can i do to resolve the problem and finally get gtk to work?  

Thanks a lot,
Joelle
