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.
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 urpmq --sources lib64glib2.0-devel ftp://10.0.0.7/Public/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/core/release/lib64glib2.0-devel-2.29.14-1.mga2.x86_64.rpm And we do have glib 2.29.8 (so higher than the require here since 3 Jul @ least cf * Sun Jul 3 2011 dmorgan <dmorgan> 2.29.8-1.mga2 + Revision: 117631 - Fix file list - Fix buildrequires - New version 2.29.8

Sorry, I chose the wrong dist-version. This is meant against 1.
Version: Cauldron => 1
So therefor reopening.
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENEDResolution: INVALID => (none)
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.

OK, then tell me how I can compile & build Rhythmbox using git-code because you won't do it?
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...
Well, I tried installing Cauldron using a VM, but it froze/stopped working as I tried to log into Gnome.
Experiencing the same issue in Mageia 1 for i586 in kernel 2.6.38.8-desktop-4.mga
