although iam surethat i have the glib version 1.2.10 installed on my system

can anyone help me plz


do i have to install the old version or what?

Is this on your SuSE system or LFS or what?

You might need to specify the location. ./configure --help will give you more options like this. So maybe:
./configure -with-glibdir=/usr/bin/glibxxx

Obviously that's not it, but you can probably understand what I mean with that.

Cool

it is suse

and i am tring now to find the place where glibxxxis located

thanx for help

It's more than likely going to be on your CD then if you have a CD of your distro. If not, I am sure you could find it via the ftp site. Might be a little easier finding one for your distro... But where's the fun in that

Cool

i found the solution

what samrt i am?
LOL

i found that version 1.2.10 which i have on my system is older than 1.2.2 which xmms need

so i am now downlloading the new version 1.2.2

but shall i install the lateset version which is 2.0.6 or let it be 1.2.2 and be in the safe side

I would think that 1.2.10 is newer than 1.2.2 (the last digit being a whole number, not an actual decimal number, so 10 not, 1) but I guess it's different here.

If you are upgrading, why go semi new, as long as it's stable, I'd say get the latest and greatest.

Cool

i don't know but i tld myself to be sure that it will work with 1.2.2

i am installing it now
and if it worked
i will try the lateset version after that

i installed glib version 1.2.2 and removed the old verision
now i am installing GTK+ version 1.2.2 and removing the older version

Hello,
i have the same problem like You but I don;t know how to remove the old version

You remove something by going into the map where you installed it originally and typ make clean or make uninstall.
Removing RPM's is rpm -e <name of rpm>.
If you don't have the map anymore, reinstall it, so untar, ./configure, make and then make clean or make uninstall.
If you don't know the name of the rpm querry all the rpm's on your system using rpm --aq >> /root/rpms goto /root and look at the rpms file. the name of your installed rpm should be listed somewhere.
