checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.8.5, but GLIB (2.6.4)

*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH

eric@debian:~/compile/gaim-1.5.0$

that is error i get while trying to configure gaim, but i'm sure this same error would come up trying to compile anything that uses glib, can anyone help me out?

it could be a path problem.

also try installing all the glibs you can-- because different packages need different versions (which linux allows).

good luck.

yea i tried all the glib packages, it probably is a path problem, but i don't know how i could fix it.

i don't use this command at all, so i am not familiar with it..

also, i have NOT tried what these guys did.. but take a look see anyway.
