yesterday I unknowingly(I mean I didnt understand it was not really needed :/) compiled and installed glib2.27.92 while glib-2.26.1 was present and that made a big mess of my system.
Code:
dpkg -r glib-2.27.92
didn't work saying
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove glib-2.27.92 which isn't installed.
Lastly, I removed some of the glib.so files of the later version(2.27.92) and it is back to normal i.e. I have no problem for normal using. however, there are obvious traces of it throughout my system and pkg-config info files. I cant compile any source requiring glib coz glib-config can't be found. rather its confused with pkg-config telling that latest ver. of glib is 2.27.92 though 2.26.0 is also found
I checked:
Code:
pkg-config --libs "glib >= 2.6"
Code:
pkg-config --exists glib
both gives :
Code:
sh: glib-config: not found
sh: glib-config: not found
sh: glib-config: not found
is there a way around to get over this?
thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
