Tristan, thanks for the tips. Having my environment vars set as suggested below however, my make is STILL spitting out an undefined reference to g_file_set_contents. (I redid the configure/make/make-install after changing the env vars). So for whatever reason, my make is still picking up the old gfileutils.h. It is probably some silly little oversight, but I can't see it at the moment. Regards -- Warren --------------------------------------------- I usually write a simple little script like this to build & test stuff in an optional prefix: =============================== PREFIX=/opt/gnome PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH =============================== And then feeding in /opt/gnome to the --prefix arg of configure. You should be able to test your glib in /usr/local by simply typing "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./myprogram".
