Hi all,
I have a problem :).
On my CentOS workstation, I had glib2-2.4.7-1 installed.
This is the last version which is provided by the CentOS distribution
However, I need to install a software which requires an higher glib2
version so :
I took the source of glib2-2.8.4-1 on the gtk+ web site and creates the
rpm installation file with "chkinstall"
I obtained the glib2-2.8.4-1.i386.rpm file
Then I execute yum to update the glib2 package :
yum localupdate glib2-2.8.4-1.i386.rpm
And know, I have a lot of problems. Surely because some library files
where overwritten with the newer version files (Right or wrong ?)....
Is there a way to recover the problem ? (Now, I can't launch a terminal
under gnome)
Well, I have broken the distribution and I feel that I will have to
reinstall it.
For the next time that I will try to update a package manually :
Is there a safe way to update manually the glib2 library without
crashing all the distribution ?
Or is there a way to install the latest version of glib2 in order to
have the two libraries versions installed (glib2-2.4.7-1 and
glib2-2.8.4-1)?
or something else ?????
Thank you for your answers,
Jean LEE
