problems with glib and atk

[Jorge Balbas <jbalbas umich edu>]

hi,

i have linux RH9 (kernel 2.4.20-6) on an pentium 3 machine.

i am trying to install some applications that require gtk+-2.5.4, so i started 
installing all the libraries required for gtk+: glib-2.5.4, atk-1.7.2, and 
pango-1.5.2.

glib installs fine, and i can ./configure atk, but when i try to build atk 
(make), i get the error:

Making all in atk
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/atk-1.7.2/atk'
..//usr/local/glib-2.5.4/gobject/glib-genmarshal --prefix=atk_marshal 
./atkmarshal.list --header >> xgen-gmh \
&& (cmp -s xgen-gmh atkmarshal.h || cp xgen-gmh atkmarshal.h) \
&& rm -f xgen-gmh xgen-gmh~                                     \
&& echo timestamp > stamp-atkmarshal.h
/bin/sh: line 1: ..//usr/local/glib-2.5.4/gobject/glib-genmarshal: No such 
file or directory
make[2]: *** [stamp-atkmarshal.h] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/atk-1.7.2/atk'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/atk-1.7.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

the file /usr/local/glib-2.5.4/gobject/glib-genmarshal exists, it is there.  
any ideas how to fix it?

also, after installing glib-2.5.4, i went ahead and remove the original glib 
installed by RH9 (glib-1.2) by doing

$rpm -e --nodeps glib

the --nodeps was to force it out regardless of dependencies, so now, all those 
that depended on glib (including mozilla) won't start.  how do i make those 
find the new version of glib?

thank you,

Jorge
