Try installing glib version 1.2.2 or above.
1) Download:
wget ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/9/...10-10.i386.rpm
2) Install
rpm -ivh glib-1.2.10-10.i386.rpm

Re-read the INSTALL and README files to see if you need some flags in your ./configure or you may need to edit the makefile to reflect your system's differences from what the code expects to find.
Why not install it using Red Hat's package manager?
redhat-config-packages

xmms=x multi-media system
Methinks you are looking for gkrellm and it is in Red Hat's packages. At least it is in release 7.3.

i found gkrellm 2.1.5-3 on my redhat cd; i tried to run the package and it processed the headers, read individual package headers and closed.
it didn't give me any package dependency problems just closed and is now running idle
it did this when i tried to install samba from the rpms too
why does it do this?

It sounds like a corrupt rpm database. Try this hten the install again:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/_*
rpm --rebuilddb

Do a:
ps -ef | grep rpm
Kill of any rpm proccesses that are running. Confirm that they have stopped:
ps -ef | grep rpm
Then try the rebuild again:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/_*
rpm --rebuilddb

i ran the ps command and this is the response:
root 2640 2127 0 11:24 pts/1 00:00:00 grep rpm
does this mean i have a process running
i tried to kill it anyway, but i cldn't do it, i may have not been typing the command right

no - the processes have probably ended by now.
Try the rebuild again:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/_*
rpm --rebuilddb
