I'm trying to install gnome. Discovered that I needed to update gtk, then discovered that I need to update glib, and install pango and atk. installed glib-2.2.3 and everything seemed to go well, but when I tried to install pango-1.2.5, I got the following error message during configure (see below). checking for fontconfig >= 1.0.1... Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'fontconfig' found configure: WARNING: No fontconfig found, skipping tests for FreeType and Xft checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.3... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.3, but GLIB (2.0.6) *** 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 2.1.3 or better is required. The latest version of *** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. It seems that maybe the glib installation didn't go as well as I thought. I'm a Linux newbie, so I'm hesitant to remove the old version of glib (as suggested below), nor do I know how to do so. I did a search on files named glib* and came up with about 350. Lots of them glib-2.0 something. Is /root/.bash_profile where I should change the environment variable mentioned above? here's the /root/.bash_profile file: # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="root" export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH Finally, here's the /etc/ld.so.conf file mentioned above: /usr/kerberos/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib /usr/lib/sane Thanks in advance for any help, Jeff _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
