Heh. Like I say, if yer installing glib from source, yer way ahead of some of the dunderheads around here...wait, did I just say that out loud?! When you install from a source tarball, in my experience you want to do it a bit differently for critical libraries like glib and such, because Mandrake tends to put them in non-standard locations (I think *good* ones, but that's another flame war). Instead of just ./configure, do ./configure --prefix=/usr (this is for glib). To execute ldconfig (and updatedb, just to be sure), su to root in your fav terminal and simply run the commands. su root enter password for root updatedb (go get a coffee) ldconfig then try installing Pango from the source packages and report back! The main thing to keep in mind is if you keep track of what you are doing, and don't, repeat *don't* delete the source packages once you install, you can always uninstall, go back, and start over. Ya, it's not like installng Kazaa on Windows, I'll give ya that. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net "Honour died when the gun was invented." 23:43:13 up 20 days, 5:24, 4 users, load average: 4.03, 4.06, 4.05
