Ok, that sounds like an interesting possibility, but I am something of a neophyte when it comes to compiling system "stuff". I DO know how to install rpms anyway. My assumption from the src.rpm name is that it is source only files and after installing it there is a build step, but: 1. What is the "spec" file?, 2. How do I "inform" the build process where my new glib files are?, and 3. What is the build syntax? Probably pretty basic questions, but I really do NOT want to screw up my system :-).

I don't use RHEL, but looking at src.rpm of the RHEL4 glib2 package, changing Version in the spec file and rebuiling the rpm with the new glib tarball should be sufficient.
