My first suggestion is to build the latest glib-2 from source with
prefix=/usr and see if that fixes your problem. Otherwise if you want to
get rid of all traces of glib-2.0 do this.
First, see what you have.
Do a # cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
and a # cat /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
That will tell you where the program is looking, eg in my case,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] opt]$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include
glib_genmarshal=glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=gobject-query
glib_mkenums=glib-mkenums
Name: GLib
Description: C Utility Library
Version: 2.4.6
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include
Next go to /usr/lib and find what might be relevant there
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ ls|grep glib-2.0
glib-2.0/
libglib-2.0.a
libglib-2.0.la*
libglib-2.0.so@
libglib-2.0.so.0@
libglib-2.0.so.0.400.6*
You might feel inclined to #rm -rf libglib-2.0* and #rm -rf glib-2.0/
Then go to /usr/include and do the same thing, remove the glib-2.0
directory
If you read the .pc file, you will see there are other elements to this
mystery,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] include]$ locate glib-mkenums
/usr/bin/glib-mkenums
/usr/share/man/man1/glib-mkenums.1.bz2
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/glib-mkenums.html
[EMAIL PROTECTED] include]$ locate gobject-query
/usr/bin/gobject-query
/usr/share/man/man1/gobject-query.1.bz2
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-query.html
[EMAIL PROTECTED] include]$ locate glib-genmarshal
/usr/bin/glib-genmarshal
/usr/share/man/man1/glib-genmarshal.1.bz2
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/glib-genmarshal.html
If you have come this far, you might as well remove those as well.
Then I suggest you repeat the same process with the /usr/local
installation.
In the end, go back and delete /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc and
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
That in theory gets rid of all your glib-2.0 stuff. Nothing will work now
as this library is fairly fundamental, so make sure you are working in a
console and re-install glib-2.4.6, but as I said earlier, just build it
from source in the first place.
All the above is untested, and my gut feeling is that I would be up for a
complete rebuild if I did it.
Good luck
Owen
