    make install always needs to be run with root permissions.

    Since you're using Ubuntu:
    Code:
    sudo make install
    DISTRO=Arch

    Ok, so I have Glib installed, newest version 2.9.1

    I try to compile GAIM 2.0 beta now, and I get this message when I ./configure...

    checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0...
    *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.9.1, but GLIB (2.8.3)
    *** 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
    no
    configure: error:
    *** GLib 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GLib
    *** development headers installed. The latest version of GLib is
    *** always available at http://www.gtk.org/.
    dan@ubuntu:~/gaim-2.0.0beta1$

    I don't know where to go from here..sorry for asking silly questions
