Now, it turns out that glib2 depends on glibc, gamin and libselinux, my current versions being 2.5.24, 0.1.7-8 and 1.33.4-5 respectively. So, to reformulate the question: is there a clean way to upgrade glib2 from 2.12 to 2.14 without having to upgrade glibc and friends (and glibc has *a lot* of friends installed on the system :-) ...). This is a desktop machine which is not quite important for production etc, so I wouldn't mind customizing it if it isn't too much hassle. I am open to suggestions on what to do --- * update glib2 and possibly glibc and its dependencies? * temper with the cairo-dock source to remove references to new functions and make it compatible with glib2 v2.12 (this is possible, but not easy)? * wait for CentOS 5.3 hoping that it has more recent glib2? * give up? Appreciate any help! Best, :-) Marko
