Hi Folks; Trying to get gkrellm to watch the system when the kernel is a 2.6.x requires a new gkrellm-2.whatever That in turn needs gtk+-2.2.x That needs a new pango, atk and glib, all suitable 2.2.x versions. I've setup an env var $PKG_CONFIG_PATH thats correct, and I reran ldconfig everytime I updated by the time honored method of doing an "rpm -e --nodeps oldpackage" and then installing the new one from the tarball. Everything went nominally till I got to gtk+-2.2.4, after having installed the 2.2.3 versions of pango, atk, and glib. I've been about an hour now on search and destroy of older glib-2.2.1 stuff which is causeing this gtk+-2.2.4 ./configure exit: checking for pkg-config... (cached) /root/kde3.1.1/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.4... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.3, but GLIB (2.2.1) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files no configure: error: *** GLIB 2.1.4 or better is required. The latest version of *** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. I think that (cached) is the killer. Humm, thats one dir I haven't checked for an older glib-2.0.pc. Ok, killed the entries in /root/kde3.1.1/lib/pkgconfig, didn't help. And glib-2.2.1 was removed with the rpm -e --nodeps option. The gimp runs, but gftp won't, so I'm messed something up. I've reinstalled glib-2.2.3 a dozen times, and now I can't even rebuild pango, getting the same ./configure error. Help, says he, plaintively... -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
