Hello, Sorry about the previous post. I didn't include enough information. rehat9 comes with libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10. It works. I did an rpm install: rpm -i glib-2.4.1-1.i686.rpm glib successfully installs, but there isn't a file labelled 2.4, instead, in /usr/lib: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 514472 Apr 30 13:38 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.400.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 6 11:06 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 -> libglib-2.0.so.0.400.1 I would have simply assumed this is correct, were it not for the fact that building pango 1.4: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** Glib 2.4.0 or better is required. The latest version of *** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. Here's the top and what I hope is the relevant portion of the log: hostname = pritchard uname -m = i686 uname -r = 2.4.20-8 uname -s = Linux uname -v = #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 ... configure:21622: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0 configure:21771: result: no configure:21804: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:27:18: glib.h: No such file or directory conftest.c: In function `main': conftest.c:33: `glib_major_version' undeclared (first use in this function) conftest.c:33: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once conftest.c:33: for each function it appears in.) conftest.c:33: `glib_minor_version' undeclared (first use in this function) conftest.c:33: `glib_micro_version' undeclared (first use in this function) configure:21810: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ I tried building glib-2.4.1 by hand from source, which puts the libraries in /usr/local/lib, and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to that first. No difference. So what am I doing wrong? thanks, Dov _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
