pkg-config / glib-config and conflicts

["craig gtk" <craig gtk gmail com>]

Hello,


In buildint a gnome from source, some packages expect glib version 1.2 (with the  glib-config), and other packages expect to learn about glib 2.6 by calling pkg-config.  What is the correct way to resolve the conflict here?  This seems inappropriate however, as some configure scripts complain that they link against one library set and use another set of include files?  How is this intended to be resolved?  Quite a number of packages still use the old glib-config script that probably shouldn't be around on a newer system that uses pkg-config?

Thanks,
Craig
