Thanks for the help. Once I tackle gaim, xmms will be next :)

Hello all,
I am trying install update glib on my linux box (mandrake 10) but I am not having any luck.
I have gone to gtk's website and downloaded the latest source (glib-2.4.6). I compiled and installed but it doesn't seem to have been updated on my system.
When I tried to compile pango (in an attempt to install gaim), I get:
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** Glib 2.4.0 or better is required. The latest version of *** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.
When I try installing xmms, I get:
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found *** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to glib-config. configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
Can anyone tell me what I can do to check the version I am running and if possible find the rpm or do a force update (if that is even possible)
Looks like you're trying to install glib from sources :) I like that (thought it's quite problematic for later use with urpmi).
GLIB 2.4.6 First of all uninstall your glib : $su -c "make uninstall" Then should configure your glib with the prefix set to /usr : $./configure --prefix=/usr Then do normal make and make install procedure. After installation do : $pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0 It should show you the version you're running. If it won't you'll have to add to your ~/.bash_profile :
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/pkgconfig export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
of course this will work after you'll reboot the system (which we doesn't wan't to do, right?) so type : $export $PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig and once again $pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0 And everything should be OK.
As for the XMMS : XMMS uses old glib versions (marked 1.x). You can install it the same way as described above but the easiest way is to use rpms from mandrake distribution. Run as a root : $diskdrake (or from the menu) and find 1.2.10 glib packages (these are the last ones from 1.x branch).
Of course you can do the same to glib (and gtk+) 2.x branch, but as I believe the packages on Mandrake 10.0 CD are 2.3.x not 2.4.x which you require. For these you'll have to search the net : http://rpm.pbone.net/ (my favourite rpm search engine) or add some mirrors to your urpmi using http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php -- Cezary 'Thereidos' Morga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux User No. 362185 GG# 169903 ICQ# 328-700-565 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
