When I investigated into /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to find out what versions of what libraries I needed to uninstall, I found that the glib referred to in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig is version 2.5.8. This is strange, since in ftp://ftp.gtk.org//pub/gtk/v2.5, glib only goes up to 2.5.7. Stranger still, since an issue I had a few months ago has made me unwilling to try anything other than the most recent stable versions of atk, glib, gtk+ and pango. I wonder if some third party RPM would put libraries in /usr/local/lib. Since the version of GLIB referred to in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, the only (extremely ugly) way I could think of to try to narrow this down was to move the entire contents of /usr/local/lib to another location and attempt to compile a fresh copy of GIMP from CVS. One trap I used to fall into, which always "used " to work before, is I would run ./autogen.sh with no arguments, and then I would run configure again, with --prefix=/usr as my path. Like I said, this has worked fine for quite a while. But now, the commands I use look like this: CC=gcc ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr CC=gcc make Also, here is the complete contents of my /usr/local/lib directory: /usr/local/lib: total 1692 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 7 18:24 glib-2.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 811 Dec 7 18:24 libglib-2.0.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 7 18:24 libglib-2.0.so -> libglib-2.0.so.0.505.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 7 18:24 libglib-2.0.so.0 -> libglib-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1072298 Dec 7 18:24 libglib-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 864 Dec 7 18:24 libgmodule-2.0.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 7 18:24 libgmodule-2.0.so -> libgmodule-2.0.so.0.505.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 7 18:24 libgmodule-2.0.so.0 -> libgmodule-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25186 Dec 7 18:24 libgmodule-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 859 Dec 7 18:24 libgobject-2.0.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 7 18:24 libgobject-2.0.so -> libgobject-2.0.so.0.505.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 7 18:24 libgobject-2.0.so.0 -> libgobject-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 562932 Dec 7 18:24 libgobject-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 869 Dec 7 18:24 libgthread-2.0.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 7 18:24 libgthread-2.0.so -> libgthread-2.0.so.0.505.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 7 18:24 libgthread-2.0.so.0 -> libgthread-2.0.so.0.505.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28433 Dec 7 18:24 libgthread-2.0.so.0.505.3 /usr/local/lib/glib-2.0: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 7 18:24 include /usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5134 Dec 7 18:24 glibconfig.h /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig: total 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 335 Dec 7 18:24 glib-2.0.pc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 278 Dec 7 18:24 gmodule-2.0.pc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257 Dec 7 18:24 gmodule-no-export-2.0.pc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245 Dec 7 18:24 gobject-2.0.pc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240 Dec 7 18:24 gthread-2.0.pc Well, "make" just finished with the following result: Success! I just wish I knew what put a version of glib in /usr/local/lib that does not even appear on the GTK ftp server.... At least I was just able to start up gimp-2.2 :) Thank you very much, Cai, for your help. Steven P. Ulrick
