[Rhythmbox-devel] Compilation error on trunk with glib-2.15 installed non system-wide

["Christophe Dehais" <christophe dehais gmail com>]

Trying to test this patch related to porting to libsoup-2.4 [1], I
came across the following compilation error [2].

I compiled libsoup svn which require glib > 2.15.3, which I compiled
(from svn too) and put in my $HOME/usr.
It turns out that the erroneous compilation command mixes system-wide
linking to /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so (which is glib 2.14) and to
/home/tof/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so (which is 2.15.svn).
I commented out the test-metadata  part in metadata/Makefile.am and
every thing go fine until the compilation of the actual rythmbox exec
file, which
fails with a similar error. And here stop my automake "skills", so can
anyone come with an explanation or tell me if I'm doing something
wrong ?

thanks,
Christophe.
