Hi list I hope this is the appropriate list for this question, if not I'll repost elsewhere. I'm preparing the ground for install Gimp2.0, and am compiling the dependencies that it requires. glib-2.4.0 appears to compile cleanly with the standard ./configure && make && make install. Now when I compile another package that has glib-2.4.0 as a dependency, I get the following error during ./configure (in this case of atk-1.6.0): checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.0, 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 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of *** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. If GLIB is installed *** but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file *** glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH. >From what I can see, glib-2.4 hasn't installed itself in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib/. I'm at a loss as how to please pkg-config. Any help much appreciated. matt _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
