glib2 and gtk2

[LiNuCe]

Hi !

You should try to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to something like
/usr/local/lib/pkconfig if, for example, you have installed your GLIB
2.x in /usr/local : pkg-config try to find a proper *.pc file for glib2
to get CFLAGS and LIBS stuff and will search in PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
(pkg-config is used by recent configure script to get CFLAGS and LIBS to
compile a sample and see if the software works properly).

If it didn't work that way, I would suggest you to try a release glib2
version (and to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH if needed). Never use devel version
for software you daily use, unless you plan to contribute ...
