Problems updating glib to >then 2.0

Hello,

while trying to compile a plug-in for mplayer I get the following message.

Code:

checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 ) were not met:



No package 'glib-2.0' found



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.



Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS

and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

while i have the following glib.

Code:

[root@Wazirkutz]# rpm -qa |grep glib

glib-1.2.10-20.el5

glib-devel-1.2.10-20.el5

i have source for glib > 2.2

I need proper procedure to remove old and compile and install glib-2.2. Could any one help me out? thanks

I am using CentOS 5.3 as OS.

System config is as following.

Code:

[root@Wazirkutz ~]# uname -a

Linux Wazirkutz

2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 

SMP Wed Apr 1 09:10:25 EDT 2009 

x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance once again.

According to Distrowatch, CentOS-5.3 ships with GTK+-2.10.14 and GNOME-2.16. You have to have glib2 installed for GTK+-2.10.14 and GNOME-2.16. You still may need to install the development files for glib2 and you should use your pacakge manager to do that.

# 'yum install glib2-devel' will do.

'glib2' cannot be removed, 530 of your installed
packages depends on the installed version.

( The version is 2.12.3 in CentOS 5.3 ).
