Trying to upgrade glib to 2.0.0


I'm trying to upgrade my glib library so that I can get galeon to run. I've done everything that the INSTALL file said do and can see the my new glib 2.0 stuff is in /usr/lib...







but when I do a ./configure on galeon, it's still finding the 1.2.8 stuff?? I haven't got a clue where to go from here or even what to search on for that matter. Everything I've found doesn't apply to my situation (from what I can gather). Anyway, here's the error message.... Thanks for any help







checking for ORBit - version >= 0.5.1... no


*** Could not run ORBIT 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 ORBIT was incorrectly installed*** or that you have moved ORBit since it was installed. In the latter case, you*** may want to edit the orbit-config script: /usr/bin/orbit-config


checking for orbit-idl... /usr/bin/orbit-idl


checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config


checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.9... 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 was incorrectly installed


*** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter case, you

configure: error:


*** GLIB 1.2.9 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB


*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.






Oh, well I just noticed that the ORBit thing is fubar also. On to find out what's up with that....





Oh yeah, BTW, this is Slack 7.1

There should be an option to point ./configure to the new glib, do "./configure -help" in the galleon src directory and look for something like "--with-glib=PREFIX", replace PREFIX with the path to the new glib. Also it might be a good idea to consider upgrading to slack 8.
