Can't install pango-1.6.0

Hi all,

I am trying to install pango-1.6.0 on my rh9 machine. Running the "configure" script threw me the following error.

checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.5.3, but GLIB (2.3.0)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files
no
configure: error:
*** Glib 2.4.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

Now how do I remove the old version of glib from my s/m? Any pointers?

Thanks in advance,
San

Hey dude!
This answer are probably some months late and you have solved the problem, but there might be other that
will counter the same problem.

Anyway, uninstall 2.5.3 from it source directory with following commands:

Code:

# make uninstall

now you have uninstalled 2.5.3, than you can manual remove the old one with just removing the glib-2.0 files or when you makes the installation of glib 2.5.3 just type

Code:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/ && make && make install

this worked for me anyway, it might be so that it writes over the old versions files!

to see which one that pkg-config gives, just type:

Code:

 # pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0

now it should give 2.5.3

ehmm...

Yes, that worked. Thanks man, but now I am stuck at another phase.

Actually, I am trying to install evolution 2.0 on my machine and am in the process of resolving the library dependencies one by one. Once I installed pango and I got ready to install libbonoboui-2.6.1.

configure and make went to completion successfully but it is "make install" that is causing me new problesm. Here is what I am getting.

Code:

libtool: link: warning: library `/usr//lib/libpango-1.0.la' was moved.
libtool: link: warning: library `/usr//lib/libpango-1.0.la' was moved.

Any idea what could be possiibly going wrong here?

Well, here you can see the problem!

Code:

libtool: link: warning: library `/usr//lib/libpango-1.0.la' was moved

Libtool can't locate libpango-1.0.la, this because of one little error, in my first message... I saw it now..

It should be

Code:

./prefix=/usr && make && make install

not

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr/ && make && make install

I think that would work a bit better ... hu hu

on my self! (back too the books

)
