I am trying to ./configure midnight commander downloaded from http://ftp.midnight-commander.org/mc-4.8.14.tar.bz2
and I get the following:
checking for GLIB... no
configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.14)
so I got a glib version from ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/sourceforge/r/ra/ramonelinux/Rel_0.99/releases/i686/packages/glib-2.41.2-1.ram0.99.i686.rpm
but when I install it, it clashes with the current version:
...
file /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/glib20.mo from install of glib-2.41.2-1.ram0.99.i686
conflicts with file from package glib2-2.40.0-4.el7.x86_64
file /usr/share/locale/zh_HK/LC_MESSAGES/glib20.mo from install of glib-2.41.2-1.ram0.99.i686

Indeed, I have a valid glib installed:
sudo yum list installed | grep glib
ModemManager-glib.x86_64 1.1.0-6.git20130913.el7 @anaconda
NetworkManager-glib.x86_64 1:1.0.0-14.git20150121.b4ea599c.el7 @base
dbus-glib.x86_64 0.100-7.el7 @anaconda
glib-networking.x86_64 2.40.0-1.el7 @base
glib2.x86_64 2.40.0-4.el7 @base
glibc.x86_64 2.17-78.el7 @base
glibc-common.x86_64 2.17-78.el7 @base
glibc-devel.x86_64 2.17-78.el7 @base
glibc-headers.x86_64 2.17-78.el7 @base
So why does MC give me bollocks about wrong glib version?
