Hi there,

I'm trying to compile an interface for a few mp3 programs called ripper. In order to do so I downloaded a current

# ./configure

I installed a current version of GTK prior to this operation. gtk-config is right here:

/usr/local/lib/gtk+-1.2.7/gtk-config

The following didn't help either:

# export GTK_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/gtk+-1.2.7/gtk-config

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Of course, its possible that you don't clear the old GTK library so ./configure is finding the old gtk-config script and then... you can wonder... instead of upgrade packages (at least when they're in diferent formats) is better to send the old to the hell and only then install the new one. Good luck :)

Thanks.

And how can I accomlish this in an elegant manner - just 'rm' everything related to GTK and the reinstall the new version?

Well, if it was installed via RPM/YaST, then use RPM/YaST to uninstall it. If you originally compiled it from source, then go to the source directory and try 'make uninstall'. This should (theoretically) work, but many people leave this part of their make scripts out. In that case you'll probably just have to rm...
