Jeff and Simon,
Thanks so much for the help. Setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH was exactly what I needed. Here are the steps I used to get mdbtools to find the right version of glib that I installed:
-----
installed a local build of pkg-config:
cd pkgconfig-0.18
./configure --prefix=/home/dspringmeyer/usr/local
then set my .bash_profile to have these lines:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/dspringmeyer/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/dspringmeyer/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib/libc5-compat:/lib/libc5-compat:/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
then, finally, pkg-config found the right pkgconfig directory I set. Here is the configure output:
------
checking for pkg-config... /home/dspringmeyer/usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.12.0)
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GNOME... checking gtk-doc version >= 1.0... no
------
make
make install
-----
The key seemed to be both setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and installing my own local copy of pkg-config after setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Thanks so much. Quite a grueling process but I understand Linux a whole lot better than I did before.
Cheers,
Dane
