configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.29.7) were not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.29.7' but version of GLib is 2.28.6

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I have installed all needed glib-related packages including the devel-ones.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Terminal-window.
2. Make sure that gobject-introspection is installed. As root type urpmi gobject-introspection & press Enter & wait until it's finished installing. 
3. As normal user type git clone http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox & press Enter & wait until it's finished.
4. Type cd rhythmbox/ & press Enter.
5. Type sh autogen.sh & wait til you get the same error as me at the bottom.
Comment 1 John Balcaen 2011-08-02 01:10:13 CEST 
you're probably not up to date because the glib version used in cauldron  is 2.29.14 while you seems to have 2.28.6 installed
cf

And we do have glib 2.29.8 (so higher than the require here since 3 Jul @ least cf

Comment 2 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-08-02 01:17:20 CEST 
Sorry, I chose the wrong dist-version. This is meant against 1.

Version: Cauldron => 1

Comment 3 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-08-02 01:17:39 CEST 
So therefor reopening.

Comment 4 D Morgan 2011-08-02 01:20:59 CEST 
we won't do this update on mageia 1.
and we won't add unstable versions in mageia 1 just because you try to compile a trunk version of some softwares. If you do so, or you compile your own version of gobject-introspection or you use cauldron.

Comment 5 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-08-02 01:27:50 CEST 
OK, then tell me how I can compile & build Rhythmbox using git-code because you won't do it?
Comment 6 John Balcaen 2011-08-02 01:44:38 CEST 
As said before you need to backport yourself all the necessary packages (glib2.0 & more) if you want to run them on mageia 1
The easy way is simply to switch to Mageia cauldron where rhythmbox is already git based...
Comment 7 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-08-02 01:50:58 CEST 
Well, I tried installing Cauldron using a VM, but it froze/stopped working as I tried to log into Gnome.
Comment 8 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-08-14 23:51:23 CEST 
Experiencing the same issue in Mageia 1 for i586 in kernel 2.6.38.8-desktop-4.mga
