 I have found an RPM which offers a more recent version,
 glib2-2.8.6-1.gst.1.4.i386.rpm, but it is not an official Fed Hat
 package and conflicts with the one I have installed. I can force
 delete the older one, but it looks like over a hundred programs
 depend on it. Is it likely that the newer glib2 will hose any of
 those other apps, or can I safely install it?

glib 2.8 provides full backward compatibility to glib 2.6. But if in
doubt, install to a separate prefix. You will want to install gimp 2.3
to a separate prefix anyway.

[Gimp-user] compiling 2.3.7: glib2 issue

2006-02-18 Thread Colin Brace
Hi all,

I get an error compiling the 2.3.7 source under Fedora Core 4:

  checking for GLIB - version = 2.8.2... no

It seems my version of glib2 is not up-to-date:

  $ rpm -q glib2
  glib2-2.6.6-1

I have found an RPM which offers a more recent version,
glib2-2.8.6-1.gst.1.4.i386.rpm, but it is not an official Fed Hat
package and conflicts with the one I have installed. I can force
delete the older one, but it looks like over a hundred programs depend
on it. Is it likely that the newer glib2 will hose any of those other
apps, or can I safely install it?

Thanks,
