installing GIMP-2.3.19

Before installing GIMP-2.3.19, I installed glib-2.13.7 (under suse-10.2) from source.
When I run ./configure --prefix=/usr/gimp-2.3.19, I get

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.7... yes checking for GLIB - version >= 2.12.3... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.13.7, but GLIB (2.12.4) *** 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

How to remove the old glib? Yast shows that glib, glib2, glib2.devel are checked.
Which one are to uncheck?

What should i write in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or etc/ld.so.conf? I don't know where
glib-2.13.7 has been installed.

How can I know whether ldconfig is required on my system?

Greetings,

Julien

Why did you do that? glib-2.13 is an unstable development release. Better stick to the version of glib that is already on your system. glib 2.12.4 is new enough.

To uninstall glib 2.13.7, go to the source directory and type 'make uninstall' as root.

I had the same problem under Ubuntu but with the GTK+.

After installing GTK+-2.10.13 from source I've got the same error message that this modversion returns 2.10.13 but 2.10.11 was found. Now what I have to do to get rid of the 2.10.11 version? Where I can find this LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or what I have to write in /etc/ld.so.conf?

If you have to ask such questions, then you should better not compile any software from source. Stick with the packages that your distribution offers because you are likely going to screw things up badly. You have been warned.

You can of course also go ahead and read the documentation that comes with your linker (man ld) and with pkg-config (man pkg-config). It would also be a good idea to read the GTK+ manual, in particular the chapters about building GTK+ and building GTK+ applications (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html). And last but not least the release notes for the GIMP development releases (http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html).

I would add that Ubuntu is user friendly only when you live within its boundaries. For serious work I prefer Slackware, even with the absence of some Gnome libraries (and the Gnome gui itself of course but that is no great loss. ) In the "Debian world" I would prefer to either use Debian proper or else install Knoppix to disk.

This is your personal opinion and absolutely off-topic. Please refrain from such comments in the future. If you want to discuss Linux distributions, there are plenty of places where such a discussion is welcome. It doesn't belong here.

Besides the fact that it's equally hard in Slack and Ubuntu for a newbie to compile gimp 2.3.19 with pkg install paths, etc.
