The file is calles glib-config. Try glibc-config --version as a normal user, then as root You can find out which you are using by which glib-config You may find that as a user you get /usr/local/bin/glib-config, whereas, as root you get /usr/bin/glib-config. Anyway, it has for me in the past. If you updated this morning I guess your version is in /usr/local/bin, and that is not in the path for root owner under SuSE (Well, 6.4 anyway). How I compile gnome stuff is either do it where I have permissions, and compile as a humble user, before make install as root, or, if I need root, I do export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH ./configure make etc.. etc.. If you have tried ./configure previously in this dir (I guess you have :-) ) remove ./config.cache before rerunning ./configure If you need any help later linking with moz, give me a shout. I've been using galeon for nearly a year now, and have compiled many versions :-) Sorry if I am rambling a bit. It's that time of year.
