Description David Lukacs 2006-01-06 11:05:28 UTC

I couldn't find more suitable place to send this post... i hope it gets to the right forum.

I use SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586). I have both
/suse/s390/glib-devel-1.2.10-586.1.s390.rpm
/suse/s390/glib2-devel-2.2.3-117.1.s390.rpm
installed.

glib-devel-1.2.10 package creates a symlink in ` /opt/gnome/include`  of `glibconfig.h` file.

It turned out to be impossible to compile a GTK2 application which uses the `glibconfig` header, because in the include path generated by autoconf the ` /opt/gnome/include` directory has precedence over others, thus the header provided by glib gets included instead of the glib2 one.

After removing the link, compilation succeeds.

Link is not from upstream. It was added in install phase:

Thu Nov 30 11:34:23 MET 2000 - egger@suse.de

- Readded missing glibconfig.h link.

I guess it was invalid, because it is platform dependent and must be in platform dependent path. GLib1 based programs should use glib-config to properly include all files.

Fixing for 10.1 (Factory) and supplementary. This change is valid, but it can break some incorrect programs.
