This is the error message I get when running ./configure for a program that requires glib. I assume its because I tried to install Glib 2.2.1 without removing 2.0.6. How do i remove the older version (or fix this problem another way). I am not a total newbie, but chances are most things you ask I won't know about (or I would've tried em)

I ran ldconfig.

what does 'echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH' return?

[root@elmo pango-1.2.2]# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[root@elmo pango-1.2.2]#

I've put another 3 or 4 hours into this and I still can't figure it out. I think its because I installed a new glib over my old one, but I have NO IDEA how to remove glib 2.0.6 .

Thanks
Greg

You can edit your /etc/ld.so.conf and add the path to your glib-2.2.1, and then run /sbin/ldconfig. After that you should be able to get going again. It's probably not a good idea to delete the older glib as you may have other softwarre built against it and there may be compatibility issues between the two versions. You should have a look at the glib documentation for issues regarding this possibility.

I agree, but these lines seem to think I should delete GLIB(2.0.6)
I already added /usr/lib/glib to the ld.so.conf file and ran ldconfig.

I'm goin crazy here
