I get this when i ./configure dx4 in SUSE 9.2:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0' returned 2.6.8, but GTK+ (2.4.9)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GTK+. 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: *** GTK >= 2.4.0 not installed! ***
how do i fix this?

What do you need help with? It tells you what the problem is. Where is your gtk lib installed? My guess is that you installed gtk in /usr/local, but your PKG_CONFIG_PATH has /usr before /usr/local. But that's just my

Thx I went there and it really is 2.4.0 because the path is "file:/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0". How do i fix this? It was probably orginally 2.4.0 and i installed 2.6.8 and it didnt delete the orginal? If so, where is 2.6.8? I am a linux newbie so i dont know how to fix this. Please help!

Very good. You have confirmed what the configure script already told you: you have gtk 2.4.0 installed on your system.

First you need to figure out what needs fixing.

No, you can have both packages installed so long as your paths are setup correctly. Generally speaking, software in linux is more difficult to uninstall than on Windows because many packages don't come with an uninstaller.

You tell me. Where did you install it when you built it? Did you build it from source or use a binary distribution (e.g. .deb or .rpm)? If you built it from source, what has your ./configure line?

I built it from source. Also, I have no idea what the above means.

When you built your gtk, you head to configure the source before building the libraries. Your installation process looked something like

Code:

# cd gtk+-x.y.z
# ./configure
# make
# make install

What were your switches on the ./configure line? cd to the source directory for gtk 2.6.8 and run the following:

Code:

# head config.log

That will tell you the first few lines of the log from your last config (which hopefully is the one that you built from). It will tlel you what theexact config line was when you built gtk. Post it here.

I just installed 2.4.0 again and it fixed all the paths. Thx anyway. Its not like any programs acutally need the newest version anyway...
