Apologies for the last post. I'm a bit confused as what I really should install.Yesterday I posted a question about my installation of PyGTK 2.6.1 on FC3 and that I'm getting the following error message: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.6.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: maybe you want the pygtk-2-4 branch? and the response I got said that I "..need glib2-dev , but FC3 comes with glibc2-2.4.7 and PyGTK 2.6.1 wants >= 2.6.0 as it clearly states. The development / rawhide tree has glib2-2.6.3, but I am not sure whether you want to install that." I'm confused as to what I should install now.Is it glib2-2.6.x or glibc2-2.6.x ? And whatever I have to install , eg glib2-2.6.x , do I have to uninstall it first or can I just do an install over the existing one? jeff On Apr 10, 2005 10:55 PM, Stuart Sears <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sunday 10 April 2005 21:37, Jeffrey Mutonho wrote: > > thanx... > > I also tried "rpm -qa|grep glib" and the output was > > > > glib2-2.4.7-1 > > glib-1.2.10-15 > > glib-devel-1.2.10-15 > > glibc-common-2.3.3-74 > > dbus-glib-0.22-10 > > glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.87 > > glib2-devel-2.4.7-1 > > glibc-2.3.3-74 > > glibc-headers-2.3.3-74 > > glibc-devel-2.3.3-74 > > > > Now , what is the the difference between glib2-2.4.7-1 and > > glib-1.2.10-15? > glib is (as rpm -qi glib will tell you) a set of underlying libraries > for GTK (among other things) > the difference is that glib is for GTK version 1.2.10 (used by xmms and > some other older apps) and glib2 is for GTK version 2, used by most of > the newer GTK and GNOME apps. > > ps. please answer to the list, and not just someone who answers you > questions - it makes it easier for others either following the list or > easrching the archives.
