1420	Glib ./configure issue	zaytsev		"Hi!

I'm trying to get RHEL4 mc builds rolling. RHEL4 a widely deployed server distro which recently got updated to 4.7, so it is one of the important targets for mc/ssh. Basically the buildlog is here:

Now check this out:

checking for GLIB... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.6' but version of GLib is 2.4.7
no

The GLib version shipped with RHEL4.7 is in fact glib2-2.4.7-1.i386.rpm , but instead of aborting at glib-2.0 >= 2.6 the ./configure process goes on.

Still, I find it unfair that RHEL4 users would be deprived from newer mc. It would be nice if glib could be build statically instead of just failing on 2.4 and lower..."	defect	new	major	4.7.0-pre2	mc-core	master
