Re: Installing GTK+-2.2.1

[Trent Childers <trent-ch cox net>]

I had the same problem. Check to see where you installed glib 2.2.1 at.
If you installed it in /usr/local instead of /usr there is a posibility
that there is still a version of glib 2.0 of glib 2.0.6 hanging around
in /usr. I suggest that you run rpm -q glib or rpm -q glib-2.0 etc to
try and see if you do have the older version hanging around from an rpm
install that was done as part of your initial install of the OS. I am
fairly sure that is what your problem is. If so, rpm -ev (package name)
to remove the old version

You may have to also reinstall glib 2.2.1 just to make sure it didn't
remove any needed files when it removed the old version of glib 2.0

As a last resort you can always do ./configure --prefix="/usr" and just
over write the rpm install. Not a clean way to do it but it will work.
Might cause you further headaches down the line though.

    Hi,
    
    I'm having trouble installing GTK+-2.2.1
    
    I've d/l'd the latest of all the files (atk-1.2.0, glib-2.2.1,
    gtk+=2.2.1 and Pango-1.2.1, as well as pkgconfig etc.)
    
    I've managed to get pkgconfig installed, as well as glib.
    
    When I configure atk, it puts out the following:
    
    checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... 
    *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.1, but GLIB

    unfortunately, nothing I do seems to make a difference.  There isn't
    an
    old glib in the system, and I'm running out of ideas.  Any help
    would be
    >much appreciated.
    I'm currently running RedHat linux 8.0
     
    try 
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
     
    still the same error!
    
    Thanks
