Upgrading glib

[abailore]

Hi
I just have little knowledge in linux.
I have problem in upgrading the glib version.

first i unpaked glib-2.6.4.tar.bz2
cd glib-2.6.4
./configure --prefix=/pathto/glib(-2.6.4)
make
make install

i checked the version by using
glib-config --version
o/p is 2.0

again i unpacked
first i unpaked glib-2.14.5.tar.bz2
cd glib-2.14.5
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

i checked the version by using
glib-config --version
o/p is 1.2.10

how do i upgrade to 2.14?

Generally, the easiest way is to use your distro's package manager. For example, in Fedora you'd use `yum update glib`.

Admittedly, I don't have any experience with proxy servers, but this page:
Fedora Project, sponsored by Red Hat
will probably get you off to a good start. Perhaps others can give you better instructions.
