Hello all,

I am having problems building tshark (of wireshark-1.3.3 and
wireshark-1.2.6).  This is because by default Centos 5.3 provides GLIB 1.2
only.


I downloaded and compiled a newer version of GLIB.  How do I tell
./configure for tshark to look in the new directory for glib?




The following recently worked for me (on a Fedora Linux system):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure ...
where $HOME/local was the 'prefix' I used when building and installing a local version of GLib/GTK. 

I'm certainly not an expert on this so there may be a better way.
