Hello all.
I'm trying to upgrade my RedHat 6.0 box to GTK+ 1.2.6.
To start with, the box has the default libraries installed:
glib 1.2.3
gtk+ 1.2.3
The reason I need to upgrade is to install Mahogany
(http://www.wxwindows.org/Mahogany/)
I have the source for both glib and gtk 1.2.6. I compiled and installed
(./configure; make; make install) glib OK. But when I try to compile
GTK+ I get an error:
*** An old version of GLIB (1.2.3) was found.
*** You need a version of GLIB newer than 1.2.4. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org.
***
*** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error
*** probably means that the wrong copy of the glib-config shell script
is
*** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old
version
*** of GLIB, but you can also set the GLIB_CONFIG environment to point
to the
*** correct copy of glib-config. (In this case, you will have to
*** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit
/etc/ld.so.conf
*** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time))
This does make since, but brings up some questions:
Can I (via gnorpm) remove the 1.2.3 version of glib and gtk after the
1.2.6 versions are installed?
How do I tell existing programs to use the new 1.2.6 versions?
Do I need to restart X (gnome/enlightenment)?
Should I just point the GLIB_CONFIG environment to the 1.2.6 version?
If I do, where is the 1.2.6 lib?
Do I just create/export the variable in my .bash_profile script?
This would create two versions of the same lib on my machine,won't that
cause problems?
gnorpm seems like a great way to manage the software on my machine, but
how long to I have to wait for newer versions of libraries to be
available as RPM? It seems if glib/gtk 1.2.6 was available as an RPM,
this process would be much easier.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
