[LUNI] dependency madness

[Richard Reina]

I don't understand why my glib packages are not update as I did a yum -y update
a couple of weeks ago.  

Here are my installed glib packages:

glib.i386                                1:1.2.10-15            installed
glib-devel.i386                          1:1.2.10-15            installed
glib2.i386                               2.4.7-1                installed
glib2-devel.i386                         2.4.7-1                installed
glibc.i686                               2.3.4-2.36             installed
glibc-common.i386                        2.3.4-2.36             installed
glibc-devel.i386                         2.3.4-2.36             installed
glibc-headers.i386                       2.3.4-2.36             installed
glibc-kernheaders.i386                   2.4-9.1.100.EL         installed

   Sounds like you have an older version of glib installed and probably 
other related packages. It claims you have 2.4.7 and it requires at 
least 2.8.0. Can you provide a list of glib related packages currently 
installed on your system? Also check which devel packages you have 
installed. The biggest problem I have with compiling packages myself 
that I don't keep my systems on the bleeding edge and some packages 
require that...

It appears to be cutting edge, atleast to the point that I can't use yum -- I am running Centos.  As a result I use the cvs version run the ./bootstrap and then configure.  Configure give me this error:
