Subject: [linux-audio-dev] newbie question on installing glib

Linux audio savants: I have a trivial newbie question. I have Mandrake Linux
8.1 on my P4 machine, and I've downloaded GLIB 1.2.10 and GTK+1.2.10 into
two directories on my machine, like so:
[bob_AT_localhost bob]$ ls
autosave/ Desktop/ log.txt Mandrake/ music/ tmp/
[bob_AT_localhost bob]$ cd music
[bob_AT_localhost bob]$ ls
glib/ gtk/
Then I go into glib, I gunzip, tar --extract, and then ./configure.
Everything seems to go ok, no errors or warnings.
So I cd to gtk, gunzip, tar, ./configure, and get this error message:
"checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.8 ... no
*** 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 occurred. This usually means GLIB was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter case,
you
*** may want to edit the glib-config script:
/home/bob/music/glib/glib-1.2.10/glib-config"
I open glib-config and see this:
...
prefix=/usr/local
...
Which is the only path-like thing I recognize. Yes, there's a /lib on that
path but there's nothing in it. Should glib's glib-config have put something
there?
Any help much appreciated. Seems like the tutorials all begin AFTER
succeeding at this stuff!
