You already have it ... glib2-2.16.6

Try this 'ls /var/log/packages/ | grep glib'
Make a list 'ls /var/log/packages/ > my-packages.txt'

Have a look in the filelists in /var/log/packages/ too.

Also please try 'ls /usr/lib/ | grep glib'

glib2-2.16.6 and glib-1.2.10 are 2 very different glib's,
they have different locations, and must both be present,
....and do not change them !
....
P.S.: You also have 2 gtk's, gtk+ and gtk+2.

What you were about to do, was an attempt to downgrade
glib2-2.16.6 to glib2-2.4.8 !

The listings were for your own benefit, to see that you
have everything. Slackware 12.2 is a brand new system,
no library needs updating.

Changing one or more of the original installed
libraries will just make Slackware unusable !

The official updates are in
"slackware/slackware-12.2/patches/packages"
Example address
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.slac...tches/packages

ummm...im not try to downgrade my glib2..
its glib..as you can see...

Code:

glib-1.2.10-i486-3

not glib2..

All glib-1.xx.x is one kind of glib,
the newest version is about 1.2.10. ( old style )

All glib-2.x.x is another kind of glib. ( new style )

So installing glib 2.4.8 will replace 2.12.16

There are very good reasons, why Slackware chose
the versions they did, do not change them if you
want to use your system.

And why in the first place do you want 2.4.8 ? ? ?
( Some applications will say, they want >= 2.4.8,
which means : 2.4.8 or a higher version.)
....
Also : have a look at some files in glib-2.4.8 and
see, that they are from year 2004.
