I'm pretty sure there is an rpm package for each of those, try downloading them and installing.

I want the versions of 2.0 and above of glib.for fc7. Can u guide where i could get the rpms from??

I'm having trouble finding the rpm's also, but on their downloads page there is a link that says "dependencies", try installing those first, then install your glib and gtk+.

Try installing them using yum:

Open a terminal and log in as root:

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. $ su -

Then have yum install it:

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. # yum install gtk

There's a good chance it will already be installed, in which case you can see if there are any updates available:

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. # yum update gtk

does the box have a working net connection?
if so, its possible a firewall is blocking that connection but that error usually occurs when theres no net connection at all.

ya, it has the net connection..the problem being m behind a proxyserver.. I think that might be causing problems.
is it??

It could be, but to be sure try logging in to the terminal as root and typing:

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. setenforce 0

That will tell SELinux to be permissive and hopefully it will allow stuff to pass through from the network. Then when all done, type setenforce 1

Always try the easiest stuff first!
