I am trying to install some software, But I seem to be stuck in a loop. I have looked at other peoples posts who have had similar problems and tried a few things but withput much success.
My Specs: Athlon Proccessor @ 900mhtz, Red Hat 9(shrike) running Metacity window manager and rox session as desktop. I have used redhat update and updated everything including kernal (now Linux version 2.4.20-28.9 gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) I do not have Gnome or KDE installed.
The first thing is this attempt to install Realplayer I got from
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/
[root@Dread Downloads]# rpm -ivh RealPlayer*
error: Failed dependencies:
libXm.so.2 is needed by RealPlayer9-9.0.7.151-4
So I went looking for libxm.so.2 and was led to believe it was in the openmotif packege which I found at
http://www.hklpg.org/RPM/libXm.so.2.html
[root@Dread Downloads]# rpm -ivh openmotif*

Does the realplayer not accept the newer (libmx.so.3.0.1) or can it just not find it?
I have a similer problem with gtk+ aswell. Trying to install pager from
http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Pager gives me this error:

checking that pkg-config runs... yes
checking that gtk+-2.0 (version >= 2.0.0 is installed... no
configure: error: Package is not installed

then the Error Message: Applet quit without ever creating a widget!
I know I have gtk+-1.2.10-25, So I download GTK+2.0.9 from
http://www.gtk.org/download/. Configure gives me the following.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.0.6 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
So I go and download glib2 from
http://www.hklpg.org/RPM/glib2.html. The install gives the following
[root@Dread Downloads]# rpm -ivh glib2-2.2.2-0.n0i.athlon.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 from install of glib2-2.2.2-0.n0i conflicts with file from package glib2-2.2.1-1

file /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0 from install of glib2-2.2.2-0.n0i conflicts with file from package glib2-2.2.1-1
I have tried such things as:
[root@Dread Downloads]# PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr:/usr/X11R6:/usr/local:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH} export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
[root@Dread Downloads]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:usr/share/gtk-2.0:usr/X11R6/
But with little success. As far as I know this is supposed to tell PKG_CONFIG where to look for packages on my system, but either the glib is not in any of these locations, in which case how do you find it, or I have missed something else completly different.
Any help with this would be very appreciated.
