Log in as /root

Open a console window e.g. xterm if you are in XWindows.

Type the command ldconfig

Then type the command ldconfig -p | grep -e glib -

A list will appear, showing where glib is found.

It normally is either /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib

Where it should be. And I should know, having spent all day porting it
to glibc 2.1 so that I can compile and install it on my box. Gibber.

But it's not a single thing, so it's pointless asking. It's like asking
"where is air installed". It's everywhere. You can list the parts by
listing the package contents.

The runtime package will consist mostly of a few shared
libraries in /usr/lib. The development package will have archive
libraries as well (in /usr/lib), hundreds of header files in
/usr/include, and a few binaries (in /usr/bin).

This will indeed find shared libraries, which he may or may not be
talking about.

Depending on where HE installed it, and HE ought to know.

You must install the "glib-devel" package to _compile_ programs that use
glib. The "glib" package contains just the runtime files.

rpm -ql glib
