LOST INSIDE GLIB 1.2.0

To all

While trying to install gtk+-1.2.0 I get


checking for glib-config... /usr/local/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GLIB or finding the wrong
*** version of GLIB. If it is not finding GLIB, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to
point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if
that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it,
although
If you have a RedHat 5.0 system, you should remove the GTK package that
ETC ETC

I tried above instructions but to no avail

My system says
 
[root@cisco gtk+-1.2.0]# glib-config --version                           
1.2.0

I have followed instructions and removed prev version.

This is  my path
[root@cisco gtk+-1.2.0]# $PATH
bash: /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or
directory

glib-1.2.0 is now in /usr/bin (tried many)

glib-1.2.0 is a directory - this confuses me - I would like it to be a
file. The previous version was glib- 1.0.6-3, a file.

Have had similar problems while trying to configure other programs eg
wmakerconf-1.6 (add on package for WindowMaker) that asks for
glib-1.0.2. 

Any help appreciated

Brian Marr.
