  Sam, you are absolutely correct... I misread Ryan's whole post putting
little 'c' at the end of everything.

  Ryan, sorry about over-reacting.

  Replacing the glib library is not dangerous at all... you might not be
able to log into your X session, or even start X depending on how the
machine is configured... but regardless the machine will certainly boot.

  So I guess I can go into more detail, but it's hard to be sure
without downloading those source files...=20

  I'm taking the approach of leaving the old one there and having the
new one be the default.

  If you didn't supply anything special to ./configure for glib, it=20
most likely installed into /usr/local...

  If that is correct, in /usr/local/lib there should be the copy you
installed...

  At this point you have a few options... for system wide effect I guess
vi /etc/ld.so.conf, add the line:
=3D=3D=3D
/usr/local/lib
=3D=3D=3D

  Run 'ldconfig -v' you should see some stuff about /usr/local/lib and
the library version you installed.  If this is true...

  Now you can start trying to build gtk whatever... rm config.cache
if there is one.  It may find the right version by itself... if it
doesn't check the './configure --help' for a option that looks like
'--with-glib-prefix' (or '--with-glib-lib' and '--with-glib-inc')...
set that to /usr/local (or /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include).

  If that works you should be good to compile...

    Hope that helps,
      Mike Simons

ps:
  I still think you should find a rpm package someplace that's already
compiled for you.
