Gaim and GLib problem

[oneo]

Hello,

When trying to ./configure in Gaim directory, I get:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.3, but GLIB (2.4.
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib

It asks for GLib 2.0... So I downloaded it, but I don't want to install until the old version is gone... How do I get rid of the old version of GLib? Will that solve my problems?

thanks,
-Mike

Read the error a little more closely...pkg-config says you have 2.2.3, but you actually have 2.4.something. Uninstall 2.2.3 and then re-install the latest.

Ok.. but that's sorta my problem..
how do I uninstall the old glib?

thanks,

It depends on how you installed it.

If you installed it from source, there's not much you can do. If you used your package-manager, then you should be able to uninstall it.
