You probably have the necessary header files now, but may have overwritten your glib binaries or installed extra copies somewhere else (check /usr/local/lib)

Hello Corona688. thanks for quick reply.

actually I forgot to mention a couple of things. I'd like to keep the old version of glib-devel-1.2.10-586.2 and glib-devel-32bit-9-200501051723
These got installed using RPMS while OS was installed.

Someone requested for glib-devel-2.x version which was not installed. I thought I could install it using source without affecting any part of current system files and as a unique package in /usr/local which that user could make use of when wanted.

First thing I was confused because package on that website or even gnome ftp site is glib and NOT glib-devel. So, I hope the package 'glib' itself is correct. And, secondly now that I have installed glib-2.24.2 using default ./configure options, will it mess up any part of the system or it will still be compatible with old glib-devel?

Also, is there anyway to find using rpm command where glib-devel-1.2.x package files get installed. Meaning what all locations of file system.

Now that you said the installation from source might have overwritten old binaries or libraries, I am really concerned.

Below is make install log
