hello all,
I'm trying to compile the bittorrent client, and I read that I needed wxpython, and as I was perusing the python site, I decided that I should get the newest gtk and glib. I went to the site and downloaded the source, and was able to install glib fin, but then I went to install gtk and it turned up this error when I ran ./configure:
checking for glib-config... /usr/local/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.8...
*** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.9, but GLIB (1.2.10)
*** 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

*** 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

no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.2.8 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.
So my question is.. how do I remove my old glib? (it's the one that came with Mandrake 9.2)
I've heard you can't remove it, but just point gtk to the new version?
Thanks
