I am trying to install GTK+; however, GTK+ requires glib versions 1.2.8 or higher.
At the moment, I am running glib version 1.2.5. How do I remove version
1.2.5 and replace it with 1.2.8 so that I can run GTK+? I am a linux
newbie so please gentle with me? Please have your instructions to me
as specific as possible. Thanks.

Are you using a rpm-based distribution? Like redhat, suse, caldera, or turbo?
If so, you could download binary rpm replacements for each one. When I first
wanted to do this, the rpm upgrade path for glib/gtk+ seemed very confusing.

You could also manually install the libraries. I have installed newer versions of
the drivers I previously installed via tarball archive "over top". I don't know if
this is the factory approved way of doing things; but its what I did. Now I use
debian, and this stuff kinda takes care of itself.

I would definitely check out a mailing list or two or newsgroup specific to your
distribution and see if redhat or whatever has released a newer version you could
just rpm upgrade to.
