No, I don't, but I did explicitly ask for list-only replies, in the original 
message that you replied to.

[1818][~]$ pkg-config glib --cflags
-I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include

Hmmm...

As a related question, do most people have multiple versions of glib (and 
friends) installed?  My slackware 8.1 came with version 1.x, at /usr.  I 
upgraded to gnome 2.4 a while ago, which gave me new glib stuff, also at 
/usr.  Now the newer stuff wants to go to /usr/local by default.

Slackware doesn't really have a package manager, and I install everything 
from source.  I can sometimes find packages (rpms, or the dropline-gnome 
stuff) but they're often not the latest versions.  My goal is to be able to 
upgrade to the latest versions whenever I want -- whether from source or 
binaries -- but then that gets me two versions of everything, since what I 
build goes into /usr/local but the binaries go to /usr.

And anytime I try to use --prefix to change the default install location, 
either the compilation doesn't work, or programs break afterwards.
