Have a look in /usr/lib/pkgconfig for a file called glib-2.0.pc - it
should be there. If not, you can install it from the distro CDs.

One recurring problem is that if you don't specify --prefix=3D/usr, then
the script looks in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig which, unless you've
compiled glib by yourself, it won't find in there.

Sounds like a bad course of action

rpm -qa glib*

will tell you if it's installed. You shouldn't have needed to install
the newer packages at all!

If you still have the source packages, cd into them, su and make
uninstall. Install the Mandrake rpms for glib2 & glib2-devel (if they're
not already installed).

I would recommend not bothering with the tar balls, but to use the cvs
system instead. It's far simpler to use. Full instructions for compiling
cvs up are available at

http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/mono-compiling.html

Updating automake, autoconf and glib should not be required to compile
Mono, especially if you're using Mandrake 10.1. Remember the old addage,
if in doubt, ask. If it's still not clear, ask again.
