glib compiled...

[smev9]

i want to use the latest gimp (2.3.17) which has (in the INSTALL file) stated, that it needed late packages of gtk, glib, pango and so on

So i downloaded all packages, which i couldnt find via synaptic and began compiling them

After i compiled glib, it is no more possible for me to compile gtk any more.

When i run ./configure it says this:

*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.12, but GLIB (2.12.11)
*** 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/.




If you have any hints, i would be most grateful

Thanks in advance

try using synaptic to remove the old version of Glib.
but you probably tried this already.

or have you tried what the message said?

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/glib2.12.12/ld_lib

if you are running these commands with sudo you would be best becoming root first. sudo su -

I did a sudo make uninstall

I will stick with the old version, since it is enough for gimp 2.3.17

But thank you nevertheless
