Uninstalling older version of Glib

[eprom]

Hello to all,

I've just upgraded the glib-2.0 lib from 2.6.0 to 2.13.0, however, when I was configuring the gtk+-2.10.12, error as follows resulted:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.12.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.13.0, but GLIB (2.6.0)
*** 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 2.12.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/.

I've already uninstalled the Glib-2.6.0 and disabled the one in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, changed the ld.so.conf and run ldconfig but the error still comes.

Could someone give me a hand on this! Many thanks in advance.

does not your package manager support Glib 2.13.0? why did you try to install from source code?

Hi Tutku,

Nice to meet you. I don't know it is from source code coz I download it from the net as "glib-2.13.0.tar.bz2". I upgraded it because I need to install the "gtk+-2.10.12" which requires Glib at least of ver 2.12.0.... So, could you give some ideas of how to solve it. Many thanks


Best regards
