Hi all, Running SuSE 8.2 version and had installed GAIM (0.58) from the distro discs. Things were working nicely, until recently when in my Buddy list appeared a plea to upgrade to the latest version. So I downloaded the source for (0.75) and upon configuring I get the following: checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.3, but GLIB (2.2.1) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files no configure: error: *** GLib 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GLib *** development headers installed. The latest version of GLib is *** always available at http://www.gtk.org/. Well, I'm pretty green still but I think I have verified that I do have 2 different versions loaded. I see /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc related to 2.2.1 installed in March and I see /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc related to 2.2.3 installed in January. And in a variety of paths are files relative to the 2.2.3 version installed in Janary. In another variety of paths, are files (many fewer though) that seem to be dated relative to the 2.2.1 version installed early in March. I don't know whether I should choose all the files relative to 2.2.1 and just delete them or what? I'm afraid I'll break something else I installed that requires the 2.2.1 version. And I don't know how to "set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the correct configuration files" or how to "fix the error by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing /etc/ld.so.conf". I have found and seen the contents of the ls.so.conf file but I have no idea just what I am supposed to edit into it to make things work or whether editing that file is the correct answer. Thanks for any help! JeepNut In a world without walls or fences, who needs Windows or Gates?
