Problem finding Glib when compiling GTK+

[hochiha]

Hi!

I just downloaded firefox (3.03) and realized I had to install a newer version of gtk (2.10 or higher). This wouldn't be a problem if I was in fact running Ubuntu, since it's in the repositories, but I'm not. I'm running Debian but I figured I would ask here anyway since it's a general question and the Ubuntu forums are the best around.

So far I've compiled & installed glib (2.18.2) in /opt/gtk-2.14/ (heard from somewhere that you could put what you're compiling and dependencies in one place) without any problems.

So far I've tried to compile gtk with:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/gtk-2.14/lib/pkgconfig"
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk-2.14

but it stops saying "Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.17.6' but version of GLib is 2.16.3". GLib 2.16.3 is the current version installed via synaptic.

Have no idea of what's wrong, so thanks for any ideas :) oh, and sorry for the wall of text ;)

"Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.17.6' but version of GLib is 2.16.3"Its telling you that the glib version you have installed is older then the one required to compile with.

Its telling you that the glib version you have installed is older then the one required to compile with.

Which is why I downloaded the 2.18 tarball and compiled it...

I just realized my question was a bit unclear, so I'll rephrase it.. how do I make the configure-script find Glib 2.18
