OK let's say that I had glib-2.0 installed in the default location of /usr it's the default mandrake 9.0 rpm install.
Then I go and download the latest src.tar.gz version and ./configure it with the defaults and install the new version in /usr/local
How do I un-install the old version in /usr without breaking all the
dependences and have the apps that where looking in /usr/* for the
libraries now reference /usr/local....
This should be a nonissue, as the dynamic linker (ldd) takes care of this stuff.
I think I'd have tried compiling glib with --prefix=/usr and using checkinstall to make an RPM out of it. Either that, or grabbed a glib SRPM from Mandrake's cooker site.
But, short of that, can't you use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, setting it to /usr/local/lib?
Yes I have put the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var in... I just was wondering if the ./configure script has a preference for how it locates the libs... I know it will look in ld_lib_path but doesn't it stop at that or what.
Maybe someone could point me to a good resource for the whole configure make aclocal intltool pkg-config process...
