I'm trying to install glibmm-2.13.3 from sources and I get this error message from running the configure script ...
checking for GLIBMM... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.9.0' but version of GLib is 2.4.7
configure: error: Package requirements (sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.9.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.9.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.9.0) were not met:
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIBMM_CFLAGS
and GLIBMM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
------------------
Looks to me like, it is not accepting glib-2.4.7 which is glib-2.0 >= 2.9... any guess, why it is giving that error message... ???
I have all those packages mentioned above and they are all in the standard directories and pkg-config is able to find the .pc files...

That’s exactly the problem… Your version of glib2 is too old. Try upgrading to a version greater than glib-2.9 (the latest version at this time is 2.13).

You do have a glib-2 with version greater than 2.9? Try typing “pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion” into the console. If the version returned is not greater than 2.9, then either you don’t have such a version installed, or it is not “in the standard directories and pkg-config is unable to find the .pc files”.
