Infrastructure Software

Hello,
I have posted this question on a couple other forums but have not got a substantial answer so I am really hoping someone here can help me. I am trying to upgrade glib and gtk to the most recent versions. I installed the Solaris package of glib 2.14.1 from sunfreeware.com and now trying to build GTK+ 2.10.14 from source since there is no Solaris package that I can find. When I run the command ./configure I get the below error message. I have added LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my profile and created ld.so.conf but still get the same error message I also tried removing the old version of glib 1.2.10 (SUNWGlib) and now don't have glib-config to check the version number. At least I am hoping that is the right package for the old version.....

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.12.0... 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
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.12.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/.
