Since I installed Arabic in my system, I am not able to install/uninstall packages and RPMs. I am trying to install gtk+-1.2.10 but it requires glib-1.2.8. My system has glib-1.2.10 installed but the ./configure did not triger it before I install the glib-1.2.8. After the installation of glib-1.2.8 it told me that I have to remove glib-1.2.10.

*** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.8, but GLIB (1.2.10)
*** was found! If glib-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 enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If glib-config was wrong, set the environment variable GLIB_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file config.cache
*** before re-running configure
no
configure: error:

Can some one help?

did you install multiple versions of glib

like maybe you compiled glib yourself while it was already installed from your distros packages.

and you did not describe your rpm problem
