my os is red hat 7.3.I download gtk+2.0.6.tar.gz and use the following command:
tar -xzvf gtk+2.0.6.tar.gz
//goto gtk+2.0.6
./configure

an error occured: my pkgconfig and glib are too old
so I download them and use the following command:
tar -xzvf ~
./configure
make
make install
everything seems ok,but when i use the command :
rpm -q pkgconfig
I find it didn't upgrade ,the version didn't change.the same with glib.
what should i do?

Did you run ldconfig (as root) to reset the library information to include the new packages?

The only way to upgrade an RPM is to use an upgraded RPM. Compiling from source won't update the RPM...

Doh! Yeah, misread that bit. Don't use rpm -q to check what you've got installed if you've been installing from source. Most software will have a -v flag to check the version. Alternative, see if ./configure on gtk+ works now :D

I just download gtk2-2.0.1-1gtk.i386.rpm.
after i have installed ,I try this:
gcc helloworld.c -o helloworld `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`
it failed.cann't find package gtk+-2.0.
Is my command right?what else i should do?
