just a suggestion, but when i'm doing major upgrades (like all of the
gtk set of libs) i usually don't do them system wide and instead do
local installs to places like $HOME/glocal. then i set the appropriate
LD_LIBRARY_PATHS, PKG_CONFIG_PATHS, PERL5LIB, etc. can save you getting
the whole system into a non-working state and will let you get rid of it
all with rm -rf $HOME/glocal
