Hello,
I'm trying to install both xchat and gaim. I don't want to grab them as myDSL extensions or from apt-get because I want the latest versions of each; I'm trying to compile them from source.

I have the myDSL GTK2 extension, but it apparently didn't include glib, because xchat and gaim complained that it was missing. So I installed glib 2.6.3 with no problems I could tell.

However, when running './configure' for xchat and gaim I get this message:

Code Sample
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.6.4, but GLIB (2.4.7)
*** 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
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.


It seems like there's already an installation of glib 2.4.7 on here, but when I make uninstall 2.6.3 and run ldconfig, 2.4.7 isn't found by xchat or gaim. I've searched around for people who've had the same problem, but with my minimal knowledge I've had no success.

Thank you anyone who answers, this has been bugging me for a while.

Since DSL is not pure debian, there is no pkg-config to work with..
Downloading/installing it from apt/get creates an empty version,
with no history as to what is installed in DSL.

I did upload the latest gaim-1.2.1 to the testing area of the repository today.
Give it a whirl.. the IRC portion is a nice addition..

For xchat, being at 2.4.3, we are now at 2.4.1
I don't know if it makes a big difference or not ..
I might wait till 2.5 before uploading another one myself..
Of course, you never know what might drop in my inbox.. :)

Oh I didn't realize you were so up to date :)

Last time I tried xchat it was 1.8.9, I'll check out the testing area. Thanks!

I had the same problem when trying to install stream tuner.  I tried to install glib 2.6.4 and had no problems so I tried ./configure again and still got the same message.  any help on fixing this would be appreciated.
