Wow! Three at once!
Okay, here's the absolute EASIEST way of getting this accomplished:
1) Head to ftp.jimpick.com (just a GNOME mirror, any will do, though
the directory might be different) and grab:
gtk+-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
gtk+-devel-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
glib-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
glib-devel-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
2) Remove the current gtk+ and glib development packages from your
machine:
rpm -e glib-devel gtk+-devel
** NOTE: It's possible that you don't currently have the devel
packages installed. If you don't, rpm will show an error message
to inform you.
3) Install the new gtk+ and glib packages:
rpm -i gtk+-*
rpm -i glib-*
4) That's it!
You've now got both the glib/gtk 1.0.6 libraries (which you'll need for
control panel, gimp, and a few other things) as well as the 1.2.0
libraries. The development files (*.h files, and .a archives) will be
for 1.2.0 so that new programs that you compile will be against the
newest version.
If any of you REALLY feel like you need to compile the glib/gtk+ stuff
on your own, give me a shout and I can probably work through some
instructions for that. The RPM packages really make it alot easier
though -- and easier to cleanup in case you end up with a mess!
