I finally got Linux installed on my system and I am trying to run Blender 3D. One of the system requirements is that the computer runs GLib. I went and downloaded the .tar.bz2 file and extracted it. I clicked on the "Install" file and nothing happened. Anyway I just need to know how to install GLib. By the way what is GLib? All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Glib i think is a library containing many useful C routines for things such as trees, hashes, and lists. GLib was previously distributed with the GTK toolkit, but has been split off as of the developers' version 1.1.0.but anyways you just don't click install and expect everything to go like windows.NO.this is linux
you have to use terminal or konsole(shell)
then you type
1: ./configure
2. make
3. make install <--all as root
these are the 3 base commands for installing software in linux from tarballs.
btw is puppy red-hat based or debian ? if it's red hat then simply download an rpm somewhere go to your shell and type 'rpm -i softwarename.rpm'

Have all the dependencies been resolve ?
because even if you install GLIB later you may get another error saying something else is missing. Be sure to check all dependencies first
