I downloaded the source for ''Downloader for X'' and tried to compile it. When it was running the configure script it said I need version 2.0.6 or above of GLib. So I went and got version 2.2.1 of GLib which compiled and installed fine (I did ./configure make make install in the source directory and got no errors). However when I ran the configure script for ''Downloader for X'' it gave me the same message saying I needed GLib version 2.0.6 or above. Does anyone know what''s going wrong?

Good chances are you installed the new GLib to /usr/local with the old glib still in /usr. Either uninstall the old glib, and install the new one with ./configure --prefix=/usr. Or try to get the program you want to compile to recognize the new version in /usr/local (by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and telling it to look in /usr/local/lib for libraries before /usr/lib).
