Installing GTK+
When I try to install GTK+ I get this error message:
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.8...
*** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.8, but GLIB (1.2.7)
*** was found! If glib-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 glib-config was wrong, set the environment variable GLIB_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file config.cache
*** before re-running configure
no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.2.8 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.
I definitly got the latest version of glib from gtk.org and it installed with no errors. It says I could try editing ld.so.conf so I tried and all it had in was this:
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
Have I somehow installed glib in the wrong place? I used the default settings and just did ./configure, make, make install. Where will it have installed to? And also where is the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?
Is there anything else I can do to try to get it working?
Thanks

Have you even tried? Check the package listing on Debian's site, I'd wager it's there.

Simply add the path to your libraries and rerun ldconfig or ldconfig -v and your problem should be fixed...while you're there
add some more paths for future use...
example:
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib

Yeah I tried but it didnt work. So I just add the path of qt/lib to ld.so.conf and then rerun the program?
Thanks

What does the -v argument do?

Mikenell, you should know better. man ldconfig tells you:
-v Verbose mode. Print current version number, the
name of each directory as it is scanned and any
links that are created.

I reinstalled Debian so I didnt think that program would be installed because I havent downloaded and compiled qt again or I would have.

Finally! I was having the same troubles as Mikenell, and had even posted a similar topic (but I think it was in the software forum), and now I finally am getting GTK+ to make (doing it in the terminal right now!). Had the same problem trying to get Qt installed also - and since I prefer C++, I can really play now! WOOHOO!
