RE: Need Install Hint.

I'm new using Linux and need a little help installing sane, glib, and
gtk...

I have downloaded what I believe I need for my system (Redhat 5.2).
glib-1.2.4
gtk+-1.2.4
sane-1.0.1

I originally opened these files in the /root/ directory and did the
installation called out for glib and gtk+ (./configure, make, and make
install). When I tried to run the ./configure script to install sane I
got an error saying that it could not find gtk+. I can not remember the
exact message, but it was something about a file missing in the
/usr/local/ directory, or a path problem. After reading through several
resources, it seemed that I should be installing all these in the /usr/
directory.

...to make a long story short, I moved everything the the /usr/local/
directory and ran the ./configure, make, and make install to install
glib. But when I run the ./configure script for gtk+-1.2.4 I got the
following error message.

checking for glib-config... no
checking for GLIB - version 1.2.4... no
***The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
***If GLIB was installed in the PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
***your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
***full path to glib-config.
configure: error:

This error is similar to the error I got when configuring sane, except
gtk+ was not found.

Anyone who could provide me with installation hints, or point me to some
resources... it would be appreciated.
