Numerous programs I have tried to compile have required GTK 1.2.2, so I
figured I might as well go ahead, and then my trouble began:
I started by uninstalling glib, gtk, and gtk-devel using RPM.
Then I downloaded the newest versions from http://gtk.org.
First, I installed glib, which seemed to go fine, no errors,
Then when configuring gtk, it said It couldn't find glib-config.,
so I ran
ln -s /usr/local/bin/glib-config /usr/bin/glib-config
and I got a whole new brand of error:
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GLIB or finding the wrong
*** version of GLIB. If it is not finding GLIB, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
*** If you have a RedHat 5.0 system, you should remove the GTK package that
*** came with the system with the command
***
*** rpm --erase --nodeps gtk gtk-devel
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.2.2 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org

What is ldconfig, how do you edit /etc/ld.so.conf, and Where do I change
LD_LIBRARY_PATH??????????????
