Problems with GLib-2.0 library

[fidiego]

I'm very new to linux and have been having trouble with Glib. I recently tried installing TILP but when i type

./configure

i get the following message.

No package 'glib-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I then tried installing gtk-dvel an received the following error:

Error: Package: glib2-devel-2.30.3-1.fc16.i686 (updates)
           Requires: glib2 = 2.30.3-1.fc16
           Installed: glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686 (@/glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686)
               glib2 = 2.32.3-1.fc17
           Available: glib2-2.30.1-1.fc16.i686 (fedora)
               glib2 = 2.30.1-1.fc16
           Available: glib2-2.30.3-1.fc16.i686 (updates)
               glib2 = 2.30.3-1.fc16
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

i tried:

 sudo yum reinstall glib2

and got

Installed package glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686 (from /glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686) not available.
Error: Nothing to do

What am I doing wrong?

From your post, it seems like you installed glib2 package not from repository but from another source as shown in the package name - the installed package is a F17 package.

If this is the case, you would need to specify the installation location in the PATH so that the system knows where to look.

The easier solution would be to remove the installed glib2**f17 package and install from the repository using yum. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I tried removing glib2 using

[fidiego@Cerebro libtifiles2-1.1.5]$ sudo apt-get glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686
E: Invalid operation glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686
[fidiego@Cerebro libtifiles2-1.1.5]$ sudo apt-get remove glib2-2.32.3-1.fc17.i686

This was the result. I think there is an issue with /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas.
