Title: Having installation Problems Here is the Ansewer

If you remove glib-1.0.6 and gtk+1.0.6 with rpm -e --nodeps <filename> then install glib-1.2.x anf gtk+1.2.x all you have to do is rpm -Uvh the glib10 and gtk+10 rpms they are only to leave the old glib and gtk+ libraries behind because it's not backwards compatible to ease the little dependencies problem and as for just installing the rest with rpm -Uvh *.rpm i guess thats ok but you should follow the order on the gnome getting started page "if you like living on that edge" i prefer tarballs and compiling against my own libs and compiler.

First this is what I did to get my installation to work and I think that anyone following the installation directions that has not worked with this stuff before may have the same problems that I had.

        After Removing the Glib and GTK+ Devel libaries using RPM -e you need to install the GLIB10 and GTK+10 rpm's but inorder to do this you have to use this syntax. rpm -Uvh  - -force glib10*  and then rpm -Uvh - -force glib10* then move the GTK and GLIB files and run the Final Wildcard rpm install using the rpm -Uvh *.rpm and that should make it work.

I think that some one with better Documentation skills should look at taking this and placing it into the install instructions.
