glibmm is a GNOME library.

Until the GTK+ 2.0 / GNOME 2.0 platform is stable, you should try to separate these unstable libraries from your stable GTK+ 1.2 / GNOME 1.2/1.4 libraries.

You can do this by installing the unstable libraries into a different prefix. e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr/devgnome2

When using the development libraries, you will need to modify some environment variables. This will be easier if you create a file (e.g. devgnome2) in your home directory that contains these commands:

export PATH="/usr/devgnome2/bin:"; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/devgnome2/lib" ; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/devgnome2/lib/pkgconfig:" ;

You can then type
# source devgnome2
to prepare your environment before building or working with the development libraries.

You may also need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf to add /usr/devgnome2/lib, and then type /sbin/ldconfig to re-process the ld.so.conf.

The vicious-build-scripts module in cvs.gnome.org might help you with this, if you can get it to work.

Requirements:
· Gtk+ 2.0.x
· libsigc++ 1.2
