Hi, I've done something slightly incorrect, or terribly wrong. I'm not sure which. I am trying to update my system to gtk+ 2.4.0 and one of the dependencies is atk (of some certain level). So, I downloaded the latest version of atk and did the ./configure maneuver and I get the following error:

*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.3.6, but GLIB (2.0.6)
*** 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

Now, I have (obviously) installed glib 2.3.6, but for some reason 2.0.6 is still there, also. How do I uninstall the old version?

I know this is probably a newbie question, but that's where I am and I'm frustrated. Not frustrated enough to go back to a M$ OS, but frustrated none-the-less.

i guess the best answer is which distro do you have installed? i dont run mandrake or redhat but im sure there is some type of package tool. on slackware you run pkgtool and you get an option to uninstall packages. if you have kde, you might try kpackage

running RH8.0

I'll check the package tool in the menu. I was being dumb and/or sleep-deprived, I guess.

Well, maybe not so sleep-deprived. I still can't find a way to get the old glib uninstalled and the new one (downloaded as a zipped tarball) properly installed and recognized.

This dependency is to get gtk+ (latest ver.) installed so I can get some other apps installed. Any help?
