Please Help! GTK+ - Glib installation problems
 

Hi everybody! Thats my first post here! I'm newbie with linux and I need your help!
I have fedora core 5.
I'm trying to install glade 3 and it has some requirements! I have to install gtk+-2.10.6!
GTK+ requires >=glib-2.12.0.
I installed glib-2.12.4 and when i tried to install gtk+ I took this error:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.12.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.4, but GLIB (2.10.1)
*** 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:
*** GLIB 2.12.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall glib, but I took the same error again!

Does anybody know how I can fix that?????:confused:

Run the following commands to see exactly what rpms are installed.
rpm -qa | grep glib
rpm -qa | grep gtk
Post output of the above.

I assume you installed as an rpm and installing glade as an rpm as well?

No I installed only glib yet and I installed it by tar.gz file through the terminal.
gtk+ and glade could not be install because the requirements are missing!
The previous versions of glade and gtk - glib installed by rpms!

Anyway, the results are:

Are you installing glade 3 as an rpm?

Post output from the following.
glib-config --version
gtk-config --version

Brian

No I'm trying to install it by tar.gz file through the terminal.

# glib-config --version
bash: glib-config: command not found
# gtk-config --version
bash: gtk-config: command not found

Wonder why those two files are not present. Try ' man glib-config '. See in the manpages exist. If not I would say neither is installed. I myself are using older versions of what you are installing but those are still rpm packages. Maybe those commands are only present in the Redhat/Redhat clone distros.

At a lost at the moment. Will give it some thought. In the meantime you might contact the developer and see if he or she has any input.
