The old version of glib is likely to be in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, which is searched before /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.Hi, newbie here, trying to install GTK on a pentium4, i686, with RH9 OS on it. I finally got glib to configure, make, check and install, then when I tried to install atk, I got an error when it queried for glib. It couldn't find it. So, after reading up on pkg-config (after looking at the config shell), I noticed that I could set the env variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH for .pc files I'd installed.
So, I looked through the config shell some more and found the default PREFIX setting '/usr/local.' Under that, in lib/pkgconfig I could see the glib-2.0 I had just installed. Great!
I setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (there wasn't such an env var before), and voila! the shell fails again telling me that it found an older version of glib (which I have never installed).
I'm installing version 2.2.2 of glib, and it's erroring out by finding 2.2.1 of glib.
I've looked through the pkg-config man page, but there doesn't seem to be anything that tells me how to local and remove a specific package, like in this case, the supposed older version of glib-2.2.1.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm up against a wall here at the moment.
Thanks. - Jimbo

Configure glib to be installed in the same place as the old one with ./configure --prefix=/usr, make && make uninstall && make install. Before running configure, make uninstall everything you just installed in /usr/local. (Note: you have to reconfigure, running make prefix=/usr install gives strange problems.)
