Hi group, before I can upgrade from 2.4.28 to 2.6.9 on my slack8 k-6 box I have to upgrade procps, according to the ../Documentation/Changes file. Before I can upgrade procps I need to upgrade glib. Right now the glib ver is 2.0 something and I'm trying to install 2.6.1. I used removepkg on the old one and then, when that didn't work, I re-installed it. The newer glib still doesn't work. I'm installing it from /home, is that wrong? here's my config.log file: This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by glib configure 2.6.1, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was $ ./configure ## --------- ## ## Platform. ## ## --------- ## hostname = darkstar uname -m = i586 uname -r = 2.4.28 uname -s = Linux uname -v = #1 Wed Jan 12 13:29:02 MST 2005 /usr/bin/uname -p = unknown /bin/uname -X = unknown /bin/arch = i586 /usr/bin/arch -k = unknown /usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown hostinfo = unknown /bin/machine = unknown /usr/bin/oslevel = unknown /bin/universe = unknown PATH: /usr/local/bin PATH: /usr/bin PATH: /bin PATH: /usr/X11R6/bin PATH: /usr/games PATH: .
