Re: Pango / Glib config problem

[Anthony <orders nodivisions com>]

OK, setting LD_LIBRARY_CONFIG to /usr/local/lib fixed the problem; 
Pango's configure script now completes successfully.

But that doesn't solve the root problem, which is that there are two 
different versions of glib2 on my system.

A search for libglib-2.0.so finds:

/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so (modified two weeks ago, when I installed Linux)
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so (modified yesterday, when I installed 
glib-2.2.3)

So looking into the /usr/lib directory, I see lots of files named 
libg*-2.0.so*, all dated two weeks ago or earlier.  Can/should I delete 
those files to "uninstall" the old version of glib2?
