Hi All, I hope this is the right forum for this. I'm using Ubuntu 6.06.1 on 32 Dell PC. A few months back, after an install failed, apps that use pygtk stopped working. Investgation revealed that the system thinks pygtk is not installed (quite possibly it got deleted/removed recovring from the install problem). So I got the source and tried to install it. The end of the output after running ./configure is : ...... checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.8.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.9, but GLIB (2.10.3) *** 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 configure: error: gobject is required to build pygtk? If I try to install gobject package it fails saying it conflicts with python-gtk2. Some questions : Where are the GLIB versiosn stored? I've found several .h files that have the version number in - where should it be (/tmp)? Where does the ./configure look to get which version of GLIB is installed? What is the resolution for the clash between gobject and python-gtk2? I've tried every way I can find from googling to get GLIB and pygtk to work together, synaptic, apt-get, compiling the sources, etc etc but no luck. Thanks in advance for any help - please be gentle with me - I'm new to linux and habn't got my head round command line syntax too well yet!
