problem compiling libgpod for gtkpod.

After installing iFuse, gtkpod and many dependencies, I've hit a problem far beyond my current understanding. Following this comment:http://cgsbay.com/mount-iphone-ipod-...x/#comment-190 everything was going well until I got this make error:

Code:

Can anyone please advise.

You might be missing a dependency, or the version of glib2 (which is where libgio comes from) is out of date.

How do I check which version I have and if its old how do I upgrade?

I don't know how you check. I've never heard of crunchbang, but given the version number, I can assume you use aptitude.

Correct, it's an ubuntu derivative, but good and not filled with endless menus.

Suggest : Delete or uninstall the glib etc. in /usr/local/.
Will most possible disturb / trash some applications, e.g. Gnome.

And install "The 9.04 version" with : apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
.. which will provide "glib-2.20.1", the development files.

'Synaptic', the Package Manager can also be used for the install.
..
