Im trying to install GTK and getting stuck at the ./configure of atk. Here's what Im getting as error: ================================================== checking for GLIB - version >= 2.5.7... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.8.1, but GLIB (2.0.6) *** 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 checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.8.1, but GLIB (2.0.6) *** was found!

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. ================================================== I searched the web and I find that tens and hundereds (maybe even millions) of people are getting the same goddammed errors and there's no advise out there as to whats to be/can be done!?! No one seems to know anything more than what's suggested by the 'configure' script !! I just we thru the entire drill of installing all the dependency packages viz., pkgconfig, glib, fonttype, fontconfig, pango, and I try 'atk' and the damn thing does not recognise that Ive upgraded my glib just minutes earlier. Ive tried (like the hundreds and thousands of others) all the usual set of tricks but in vain! Im writing to wake-up the so-called 'GLIB, GTK' developers to take note that their shabby work is making millions of people waste their valuable time!?! I dont want to give any credit to this doggone shit that Im getting this stuff for FREE, my foot!?! I know that they are not going to respond anyways since many hundreds have called out to them in vain before me! JUST DONT THROW SHIT AT PEOPLE!@#$^ __________________________________ Yahoo!
