Is there a way that I can install 2.4.1 over the older version? If not, is there a way that I can tell the GIMP where the new version is installed and have it use that? Thanks. :-)

you need to set the paths. i got really bored with setting them and asked a friend to write this script to set them for me: http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimpenv

to use this script, type "source gimpenv". this should direct configures attention to everything in /usr/local if that is where you have the new glib installed at.

i had to use this script to trick debian into making a gkt2 deb yesterday -- they gave me a glib with a wrong pkg-config name.

good luck carol

./configure --prefix=/usr

That should put it in the right place

glib-1.2 and glib-2.x are two different libraries that can be installed side-by-side. Same for gtk+. However I strongly suggest that you use the binary packages that are available for your distribution and not attempt to install gtk+-2.x from source.

this is perfectly excellent advice unless you are like me, using a distribution that is way over your head and it is giving you broken pieces that gimp really needs.

the gimpenv script found on wgo answers the original question perfectly well.

and building a working gtk2 for debian sid was better than getting it from them, at the moment. including tricking it with a local build of glib.

debian sid has a perfectly working gtk+-2.4.1 which is also supposed to enter debian testing tomorrow.

Dunno what is the meaning of "buffo", but gtk-+-2.4.1 from Debian sid is working perfectly on my K6-2 500. I've also built glib / gtk from source with the help of the garnome package which can be an alternative for those who want the "sources from the source" [tm].
