Quote:First .. did you check to see if a RPM was kicking around .... anyway :)
Code:yum install glib-devel
<div>
When you are installing from source you need extra files (headers and static libraries) the devel packages contain these.
So if it says .. X test fails ... try installing x-devel.
If it installs correctly it will be put in /usr/local/bin/ by default. It will probably be the only thing in there :P

That wouldn't install in root for some reason, so I went to find the RPM for this (didn't think to do that first) and I tried to install it via terminal following the rpm command (cd'ed to location then rpm -ivh file.rpm and that didn't work :S ) so then I just double clicked it, entered roots password and it worked! Didn't think that RPM's worked that way, it then just showed up under accessorys.
Thanks for your help! I am trying to rtfm as much as I can before posting, but some things I just can't find :)
Cheers for your help!
