Convince yourself #include <glib.h> is on line 29 of gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h and therefore it is included before it gets to line 33. If you included <glib.h> (not "glib.h") I don't understand how it could find a different glib.h. > Apparently glib-2-2.6.3 also includes G_GNU_NULL_TERMINATED? I don't know what Slackware does with GLib, but my theory is you have more than GLib installed.

But unless Slackware mangles Gtk+ beyond recognition, there is no G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED in Gtk+ 2.6.3, nor in any other 2.6.x version. So the header files your app tried to include belong to another instance of Gtk+. Try pkg-config --variable=prefix libfoo to find out where the libfoo found by pkg-config is located. > The Slackware package is gtk-2-2.4.3-i486-1.

If gtk-2-2.4.3 is what you expect to have installed this supports the theory you have a pell-mell, not a particular version. > Now, a major problem seems to be pango.

GLib, Gtk+, Pango, etc. version numbers are unrelated (Gtk+ and GLib versions used to be related, but it is no longer true). What version of what is required is probably written in some docs, I would run or look at configure.{ac,in} of each library in question. > I intend to get the gtk+ source for 2.6.3 and see if it matches the > Slackware package.

You could end up with three+ versions installed simultaneously and even in the best case you will still have two versions installed. The files can be easily compared without actually installing them. What you need is not installation of another version, but location and identification of everything you have already installed and *removal* of the extra/unneeded libs.
