Do get pango so see your new glib you need to use "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" before you configure. However, this whole situation is not idea because you now have two copies of GTK+ and company on your machine. I recommend what Owen recommended to Nick Wilson on the list. Go to your distro maintainer and get the latest gtk packages from there. Then you'll have no conflicts and things will be happy. For example, on Redhat 9, download the gtk2, glib2, pango, and atk rpms from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide I quote: "Advice: A) Delete all remnants of GLib out of /usr/local, so they don't cause you problems in the future B) Fetch the newest GLib, Pango, GTK+ packages from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide or a mirror and install those. They should work fine on Red Hat 9. If you were installing from source the simplest and most reliable way to do it is to simply write over the system installation by running ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc. The only real alternative is to install all the sources in a way that is entirely isolated from the system installation; but that takes quite a bit of experience to get going. Having a mixture of the same libraries in /usr and /usr/local will never work properly. Since packages are available that will work on your system, you should use them. Not only is it easier, the packaging system will know about them properly, and you get some Red Hat integration patches that aren't in the upstream tarballs.
