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.
Quote:
i reinstall my system
Why did you reinstall it ?
Quote:
i was installing some software
What software ? And how did you install it ?
If you had used a package manager it would have taken care of dependencies for you.
Quote:
i install pkgconfig ,glib,atk ,pango,cairo etc.
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.
Quote:
i found there was no changing
What do you mean ?
If you installed the rpm packages, it is impossible that nothing changed

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.
