Your self compiled glib2 2.2.1 is in /usr/local, but you still have the above two packages installed (mostly likely in /usr). Remove these and you should be fine. Also, remember to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. Charles -- "Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-night hacking (and/or conversations with God)."

Yes, that is a very silly thing to do for two reasons. Firstly, glib is a userspace library for handling graphics operations together with the gimp toolkit. glibc is the most basic lib on your system, not to be touched unless you know what you're doing. Secondly, no package should ever be installed with --force for any reason whatever. If it doesn't work otherwise, don't touch it, it's broken! To get glib 2.2 you could look at ximian.com, it's available through their red-carpet service.
Hello, I had the same problem when compiling the latest version of gaim. The ./configure script uses pkg-config to see if you have glib installed onto your computer. That's why, when you issue in a command line: pkg-config --list-all should list you the glib library as installed. Sometimes, most probably this is the your problem, pkg-config returns an error even if you have glib installed correctly. So, when running the command above, you should not receive any error. If you receive one, solve it until the glib library is listed in the command's output. Hope this was comprehensive enough:) Regards, Alin. Ricardo Wagemaker wrote:

Anyone in here got any idea where glib leaves or where and how I can remove the old version of it?
I had a very similar problem yesterday. - Find where your glib 2.0.6 is. It is probably in /usr/lib. - Copy your updated glib to the same directory. Perhaps your updated glib is in /usr/local/lib, if you compiled it from sources, like I have just done. (We are copying the full name libraries, and not dealing with the symlinks) - As root, run ldconfig. If you run like "ldconfig -v | grep glib", you should see the symlink updated by ldconfig. Now pkg-config should not be able to find the old glib anymore and should not complain. The problem is that it complains even if the correct library is going to be loaded anyway, since /usr/local/lib is scanned before /usr/lib (as in /etc/ld.config.conf).
Has anyone got any ideas? Suse 8.1 Pro #rpm -Uvh glibc-2.3glibc-2.3.2-6.i586.rpm cannot read header at 0 for dependency check I would like to upgrade to glibc2.3 as many new packges depends on 2.3 Many thanks

Please don't, glibc is the most sensitive part of your system. Doing this will break all your packages installed, thus your system. You are better off compiling the new packages you want.
