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:
Hi everyone,
I am not sure if this is the correct mailling list but here we go.
I am trying to upgrade GIMP on Suse 8.1 Pro, but this is what happens. ...... ...... checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.2.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.1, but GLIB (2.0.6) *** was found!

See the file 'INSTALL' for help.
Anyone in here got any idea where glib leaves or where and how I can remove the old version of it?
I have tried:
r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm -qa | grep glib glib-1.2.10-305 glibc-profile-2.2.5-177 glibc-info-2.2.5-177 glib2-2.0.6-45 quake2-3.20-glibc-6 glibc-html-2.2.5-179 glibc-locale-2.2.5-177 glib2-devel-2.0.6-29 glibc-2.2.5-177 glibc-devel-2.2.5-177 r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # ls -al total 2072 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 21 12:23 . drwxr-xr-x 107 root root 4096 Sep 21 12:10 .. -rw------- 1 root root 284733 Sep 21 12:23 glib2-2.0.6-45.i586.rpm -rw------- 1 root root 385049 Sep 21 12:11 glib2-2.2.1-18.i586.rpm -rw------- 1 root root 1421929 Sep 21 12:12 glibc-2.3.2-6.i586.rpm r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm -Uvh glib2-2.2.1-18.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by glib2-2.2.1-18 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by glib2-2.2.1-18 r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm -Uvh glibc-2.3glibc-2.3.2-6.i586.rpm cannot read header at 0 for dependency check r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # When I forced to Update to r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm --force --nodeps -Uvh glibc-2.3glibc-2.3.2- 6.i586.rpm r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm --force --nodeps -Uvh glib2-2.2.1-18.i586.rpm
everything stopped working,
I had to back track and returned to the previews versions.
Any Idea???
