dependency hell over glib stuffs
Hi; this is rather offtopic, but maybe somebody's been there and done that.
Trying to get gkrellm to watch the system when the kernel is a 2.6.x requires a new gkrellm-2.whatever
That in turn needs gtk+-2.2.x That needs a new pango, atk and glib, all suitable 2.2.x versions.
I've setup an env var $PKG_CONFIG_PATH thats correct, and I reran ldconfig everytime I updated by the time honored method of doing an "rpm -e --nodeps oldpackage" and then installing the new one from the tarball.
Everything went nominally till I got to gtk+-2.2.4, after having installed the 2.2.3 versions of pango, atk, and glib. I've been about an hour now on search and destroy of older glib-2.2.1 stuff which is causeing this gtk+-2.2.4 ./configure exit:
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /root/kde3.1.1/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.4...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.3, but GLIB (2.2.1)
*** 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
no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.1.4 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.
I think that (cached) is the killer. Humm, thats one dir I haven't checked for an older glib-2.0.pc. Ok, killed the entries in /root/kde3.1.1/lib/pkgconfig, didn't help. And glib-2.2.1 was removed with the rpm -e --nodeps option. The gimp runs, but gftp won't, so I'm messed something up. I've reinstalled glib-2.2.3 a dozen times, and now I can't even rebuild pango, getting the same ./configure error.
Where is the right place to find help for this?
Should I rebuild and re-install everthing with --prefix=/usr?

Old problem, solved a number of times on different mailing lists. Google is probably your friend here.
You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the new glib libraries as well.
