removing a package??

ayers · 06-26-2005, 11:19 AM

Hello - I just successfully installed a package via scource code!!! I was very excited. It was glib+-1.2.5.

Unfortunately I already had glib+-1.2.10 and as I try to ./configure gtk+-1.2.5 it tells me to remove the older glib.

So...can anybody please walk me through how to remove a package - thanks - I am a newbie and need it simple - Jim A

why are you trying to install an older version ????

1.2.5 is older then 1.2.10 ?

if your using mandrake use its package mangement system. in the gui somewhere i belive but i havent used mandrake for a long time.
