I am trying to build streamripper from source, I don't see rpms available for it.
I have all the parts of yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' in place.
rpm shows that a 2.5.* is in use
# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.5-42.el5_4.3
Any attempt do get past the ./configure for streamripper fails
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.16.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: Glib 2.16 or greater required
After a lot of googling, I see some people on Ubuntu seem to have been missing a glibc-dev: http://sourceforge.net/projects/streamripper/forums/forum/19083/topic/345744...
but I don't see that available for me to pull from yum, and trying variants via: [root@localhost streamripper-1.64.6]# yum provides */libglib*
does not pull up what I seem to need here either.
I feel I must be missing some path, but I cannot find it. I built this fine on my BSD machines, and this app is part of the available install base for e.g. Ununtu and FreeBSD etc-- it is not as if this is esoteric.
Does this not build under CentOS? or am I missing something really straightforward. I searched the forums via google and find really no one talking about this, so either I'm missing some path or something obvious, despite looking, or it's just kown/assumed to not work.
I am running : Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 07:32:21 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
freshly installed and updated 5.x.
Thanks for thoughts-

I have never tried building that particular program, but do you have glibc-devel, glib-devel and/or glib2-devel installed?

that's glib not glibc. Current version in C5 is $ rpm -q glib2 glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1
your program needs a newer glib than that provided in C5. I don't know how this could be solved, but probably not easily.

glib is set up so that you can install parallel versions.
Get the src.rpm from a newer distro, change the name to compat-glib2 and tweak the spec file to build with the changed name and add
Provides: glib2 = %{version}
(and for devel - Provides glib2-devel = %{version}
Build it and it should install parallel to the stock glib2.
Of course, you may need to do the same thing with some dependencies just to get the compat-glib2 to build.
I might have a spec file for updated glib2 sitting around somewhere, but I stopped using CentOS for desktop so if that is one of the libs I had updated for myself, it may be older than 2.16 (I seem to remember doing it for 2.14) but I'll see if I have it. It may have been archived to one of my DVD's if I do, and I never built an index of what was on them. But I'll see if I can find it.

Thank you for the pointers, I'll look into that approach.

Thanks! That has saved me a lot of effort. The back and forth I've spent this weekend before posting, I chalk up to the learning curve.
