problem with a src.rpm

[Net Llama!]

OK, you're starting to descend into RPM hell here.  First, i'd suggest 
uninstalling libglib (which looks to be a Mandrake bastardization of 
glib).  Then remove glib and glib-devel, as they're not the latest 
stable versions.  Next grab this:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/SRPMS/glib-1.2.10-5.src.rpm

I found it by going to rpmfind.net and searching on 'glib'.  Rebuild it 
with:
rpm --rebuild glib-1.2.10-5.src.rpm

If all goes well, you'll end up with a full set of glib RPMs in 
/usr/src/mandrake/RPMs

Install all of those, and then try again to build whatever it was you 
were working on.
