Make sure you also have glib2-devel, not only the library itself.

... then add the path where the library is (see my previous post for a brief howto). If you don't know where it is, use `find'; chances are that it's somewhere under /usr/lib

is the LD_Library what im supposed to be searching for anyways?
No. And it's called LD_LIBRARY_PATH
google("gcc environment variables", Lucky=true) ==
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/En...Variables.html
read about LIBRARY_PATH there; the same thing goes for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, except LD => Link Dynamically (iirc).
what you should be searching for is glib2.

hey, I'm kind of confused, so basically i want to use glib2 as a library, but shouldn't it be already a library? isn't that what it is?
Anyways, i type locate glib2 and i really don't find any usable directories:

mark@linux:~> locate glib2

Mandrake RPM won't install in SUSE in most cases (dependencies).
