    Problem installing Glib 2.6.2

    I need a newer version of glib than is installed on my OS. I DLed glib-2.6.2.

    I did:

    Code:
    ./configure
make
make install
    Everything went fine. No errors. Yet when I try to install anything that needs the newer version of glib, it says it's not installed. I do a:

    Code:
    rpm -qa | grep glib
    And it comes back with:

    Code:
    glib2-2.4.8-1.fc3
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.fc3
dbus-glib-0.22-10.FC3.2
glib2-devel-2.4.8-1.fc3
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.fc3
glib-1.2.10-15
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.87
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.fc3
glib2-2.4.8-1.fc3
dbus-glib-0.22-10.FC3.2
glib-1.2.10-15
glib-devel-1.2.10-15
glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3
glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3
    does anyone know whats going on here? How do I get this installed correctly?

    Thanks.

    You might be able to coax your source-installed version of glib into the rpm database with a:
    Code:
    rpm --rebuilddb
    , but don't bet the farm on it.
