I'm trying to install glib 1.2.10 on my machine so i can install xmms. I seem to remember that xmms need glib/gtk 1.2 instead of the newest version 2.5 (is this correct). Anyway, ./configure works fine, but make fails. Here are the last few lines:

g_log_domain_glib -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c gstrfuncs.c
rm -f .libs/gstrfuncs.lo
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=g_log_domain_glib -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c gstrfuncs.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/gstrfuncs.lo

Can anyone help?

What version of gcc are you using?

I too would like to know how to do this. I get the same error.

Fedora Core 3 comes with gcc 3.4.2

Anyway to see your version of gcc type in your favorite console: gcc --version
