You probably have the old copy of a glib rpm still lying around. Redhat puts glib and gtk in /usr and make install sends things to /usr/local by default so either rpm -e glib gtk and then do a make install or configure glib and gtk with the option --prefix=/usr which should overwrite the existing copy. -- Stephen Witkop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
