Sven, thanks for your reply. I must say I read the INSTALLs for glib,pango, gtk and gimp several times over. And I went so far that I started completely from scratch. Re-installed RedHat 9 again (with all options on to make sure all the required tools are handy). And I found rpms for glib 2.4.2 and pango. However the problem is still the same. When installing glib 2.4.2 it complains about glib 2.2.1 is required (which by itself is rather weired) but glib 2.2.1 is installed. Running rpm does not create any logfiles to show more details on what is going wrong. But in essance it's the same fault as when running the ./configure for compiling the source for glib. So I got glib2-2.2.1 rpm and tried an 'update' and a 'freshen' option when running rpm, but it refused to run saying glib 2.2.1 is already installed. What is wrong here?
