Using suse 9.1 on a asus k8v with a amd-64. I've been trying to compile synaptic, gtk 2.4 and other things. I downloaded glib-2.4.0 and did the traditional ./configure... make.... make install . With no error messages on the install. After the install of Glib I tried to install gtk 2.4 and now get the familar message of.... --checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of GLib is 2.2.3 configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. Now I have installed glib 2.4 and the pkgconfig can't find it. And when I try to install synaptic it fails because the gtk is not version 2.4. It seems to all hinge on this getting gtk to find glib. apt-get glib and gtk both say that I have the latest versions installed. What am I missing here? Dr. Roy F.
