大家好,我是一名linux的初学者,我在安装一些软件的时候说我的,gtk+版本比较低,需要我安装一些软件,于是我就开始安装glib, pkgconfig 等等,但是安装好后,我用rpm -qa |grep glib查询时候glib的版本还是以前的,可是我已经安装了,不知道为什么会这样.我查询了很多中文网站但是到目前为止没有找到答案,您能帮助我么,谢谢.

Nobody help me or the question is too easy to answer ?

glib1 and glib2 and friends are designed to coexist on your system so you can safely have both
and most linux systems do have both.

Hello shikuojia
You should be more precise to be better understood.
Why did you reinstall it ?
What software ? And how did you install it ?
If you had used a package manager it would have taken care of dependencies for you.
How ? Are you sure you installed the right rpm packages for your exact distribution version ?
Once again with a package manager, it would have been easier.
What do you mean ?
If you installed the rpm packages, it is impossible that nothing changed :confused:

So I advice you to use a package manager like apt-get, smart or yum.
You should start searching in this direction first, I think.
Good luck for now.
