Erm the lines " I am extremely new to Linux" and "have tried to install GLib" ring alarm bells in my head. The Glib library is one of the most fundamental libraries on your system. If you mess with it you are almost certain to break your system. (Trust me I have been there) If you are new to Linux it is best to stick to RPM packages built for the Mandrake release you are using. There are gazillions of them. You will not get bored. Have a read of the Twiki site in my sig and learn about using urpmi to install apps on line. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
