I am using SUSE 8.2 and I often get error messages like this when attempting to install rpm packages: I don't know where glib is and I haven't been able to find it. And if I did know where it was, I don't know how to indicate that in a command line

Install glib-devel then try again
Almost there, I think, installed glib-1.2.10-ximian.6.i386 and glib-devel-1.2.10-ximian.6.i386. Ran "rpm -i gnpan-0.13.4-0.src.rpm". And pkg-config was asked for. Installed pkgconfig-0.15.0tar.gz, "ran -i gnpan again" and got this:
Where are you getting ximian packages for 8.2? I didn't think they had started releasing packages for 8.2 yet. Second, you don't get any messages like that when you install a src.rpm, those are compile errors. And you don't have to reinstall the src.rpm every time you install a dependency.
No package 'glib-2.0' found
"linux:/home/chris/downloads # rpm -Uvh glib2-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm package glib2-2.2.1-18 (which is newer than glib2-2.2.1-1) is already installed"
glib2-devel is needed. If you're going to compile a program that needs package foo to run, you need foo-devel to compile it.
