Uninstalling glib

*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.8.0, but GLIB (2.6.3)
*** 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

this what i get when i want to install pygtk or atk or expat. I know I have glib-2.8.0 'cause I installed it, but how do I get rid of the other version?
(yes i ran ldconfig, and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is blank)

looking so hard problem so no body can answer it!
I hope my problem to be easier!:( :scratch:

Do you have pkg-config installed?

I'm having this problem too, when I try to compile GTK+ 2.8.13

no

GLIB 2.8.6 is already installed, and I guess it wants me to remove version 2.9.2 but I don't know how to do this.
