Fellas (and ladies),

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm an attempting convert from the dreaded Microsoft World and pretty new to Linux.

I'm trying to install the BlueFish but it needs some dependencies I don't have (gtk). So trying to install gtk it says I need atk and some other stuff. Ok, "no problem" I say, so I go to install atk and it says the following:

Checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

So, I went and downloaded the Glib 2.2.2 (latest version) and installed it. Got no error messages.

I go back to install atk and it still says the same thing.

Please help guys!

Thanks,

Jeremy
p.s. Don't know if you need this, but I'm running Mandrake 9.1

That I've installed pkg-config
when I run the command: pkg-config --modversion glib-2.2
It says it can't find the file glib-2.2.pc BUT I found it in the /usr/bin directory when I did a search for the pc file.

It says I need to set a PKG_CONFIG environment variable. How do I do this?
I've tried
set PKG_CONFIG=$:/usr/bin:

when I try to echo it back I get
PKG_CONFIG as the output
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

look at www.gtk.org as there is some useful information there.
