Hi All,
I am doing application development on Fedora Core 6 Linux machine which
had GTK version 1.2.1 already installed. I needed to use g_timer_add
gnome function in my gtk application which doesn't seem to be supported on this
version. So i tried to install the newer version of GTK+-2.0.0 from the gtk.org
web page.
Once I copied tar.gz file and tried to install the app. by running the
'./configure' script, the insatallation process stopped at the following error
messages:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.3, but GLIB (2.4.0)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error

no
configure: error:

I treid to update the glib library by running:
'yum update glib' or 'yum install glib' but it appeared that kernel couldn't
find the match and issued the following messages:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering whether the problem is with the 'yum' package as it is unable
to find the requested Glib library. Since the whole point of installing the new
version of GTK was to be able to use the 'g_timer_add' function, can some one
suggest if it is possible to use this function with the GTK 1.2.1 version. If
not, can someone point out how can I fix the installation error if GTK+-2.0.0.
Thanks,
Adeel
