Running Centos 5.1 and trying to install latest version of gtk on the machine. When doing the configure get the following message and I'm not
sure how to resolve it. Tried doing rpm -e on the old version of glib but get error messages that alot of stuff depends on it. Tried repointing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var to several different folders but that didn't help.
thanks for any ideas.

checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.13.5...

no
configure: error:

*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/.

do a sudo make clean

then

sudo ldconfig

yes it's an lowercase L

then try your request again.

OK now getting this. Even though pango is upgraded to the latest version.

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.17.3 cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met:

Requested 'pango >= 1.17.3' but version of Pango is 1.14.9

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

whenever it says something to this "glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.17.3 cairo >=
1.2.0) were not met:"

it means your missing the -dev versions of the packages, in ubuntu it's sufficient to ginto the package manager and find the dev-versions

example on mine I would install:

glib - install libglib 2.0-dev
atk - install libatk1.0-dev (sorry I only have 1.0 and in Kubunti/Ubuntu I have 1.20.0)
pango - install libpango1.0-dev (sorry I only have 1.0 and in Kubunti/Ubuntu I have 1.18.3 - not counting the installed one from gtk ie: the updated version)
cairo - install libcairo2-dev (sorry I only have 1.0 and in Kubunti/Ubuntu I have 1.4.10.1)


After installing those and the dependencies, try your request again.

thanks

hmmm it fails to detect ur Glib ver. 2.0.

sorry but ur problem lies in the detection of glib 2.x, u can try compiling & installing the glib from the main site here http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/

and see it works.

Don't forget to run ldconfig afterwords.
