./configure fails:
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config configure: error: *** pkg-config too old; version 0.14 or better required.
Found the latest version of pkgconfig here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra/PLD/i386/PLD/RPMS/pkgconfig-0.14.0-1.i386.html
Downloaded the .rpm file and did rpm -U
Continued with 'make' for glib-2.2.3
Decided to try the RPM instead: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ASP/contribs/9/i386/glib2-2.2.3-1.1.i386.html
rpm -U wouldn't work (dependency) tried rpm -i instead. Some conflicts with 2.0.6.
Used --force. It may never work again.
Where was I? Back to gimp-1.3.22 to try to ./configure again
Nope, still fails on GLIB -> 2.2.0
Okay, try compiling glib-2.2.3 from source
configure/make/make install worked, but gimp-1.3.22 still won't configure.
