The issue is not that 2.x is being detected incorrectly.  The error
message should be a little more clear.  It's saying "I know you have 2.x
installed, but I need a 1.x for gaim to work properly."  Go install the
older version (it's on the CD's).

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -qa | grep glib | grep -v glibc
libglib1.2-1.2.10-6mdk
libglib1.2-devel-1.2.10-6mdk
libglib2.0_0-devel-2.2.1-1mdk
libglib2.0_0-2.2.1-1mdk

Notice how both version 1.2 and 2.0 libraries are installed.  That's
what you're missing.  Use urpmi instead of rpm to install it and it will
pull in the versions that you need.  If you're compiling it from source,
you need to understand the dependencies that urpmi takes care of for you
(by the developers).
