compiling 2.3.7: glib2 issue

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,

-- Colin Brace

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.
