updating 2.4 to 2.6 kern prob

[gl34 telus net]

Hi group,

before I can upgrade from 2.4.28 to 2.6.9 on my slack8 k-6 box I have to 
upgrade procps, according to the ../Documentation/Changes file.

Before I can upgrade procps I need to upgrade glib. Right now the glib ver is 
2.0 something and I'm trying to install 2.6.1. I used removepkg on the old one 
and then, when that didn't work, I re-installed it. The newer glib still 
doesn't work. I'm installing it from /home, is that wrong?

here's my config.log file:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by glib configure 2.6.1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure
