ii'm on redhat 9. is it as simple as finding glib 2.2.1 and deleting it? if so where is it lol..

My guess would be that glib is made of a few files called libglib-2-blah-blah and they will probably be in /usr/lib . It's quite likely some of them may be part of glib-1.2 (if you have that installed). Don't delete anything. It's too irreversible. If you want to try moving them out of the way, put them somewhere like root's home folder. That way if Gnome breaks and you find yourself back at the command prompt you can login as root and they're right there to cp back to /usr/lib . Not that I've ever done anything as foolish as that...Good luck.
