    How do I go about doing such a thing? gaim told me that gtk wasn't installed, so I went and got it... only to find that I DID in fact have gtk and that I installed right over top of it :grr:
    So I need to uninstall and install just ONE :grr:
    so how do I uninstall?
    (I'm in SuSE now and it's gtk 2.0.9 (yes I know 2.2 is out) if that makes any difference whatsoever)

    Generally I find it impossible to uninstall anythign that was put in by the OS installer.

    Does SuSE have any kind of package manager ? Look around for one, then jsut look for your GTK instals (yes both) and remove them.

    If the second one you installed was from source, just cd over to your source directory, and

    make uninstall
    make clean

    that should clear up GTK from your system. Then jsut go and delete anything that might have been left beind, fodlers, log files, etc.

    got glib uninstalled and installed (I think) but when I try to install pango (which I also uninstalled), ./configure tells me
    "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"
    I check the config.log file and it's full of parse errors and syntax errors :(

    Edit: Got that fixed... now pango config says...
    "Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
    The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means that the run-time linker is not finding GLIB or finding the wrong version of GLIB. If it is not finding GLIB, you'll need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that is required on your system."
    I added the path to /etc/ld.so.conf but it still says this. So where's LD_LIBRARY_PATH???

    EDIT2: I'M AN IDIOT! I thought that says Idconfig, not Ldconfig :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a variable.

    To find out what it's set to, just type

    echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    That should output what the variable is.

    Then to change it, just

    set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/glib/
