glib2 and gtk2

[Net Llama!]

Greetings,
I realize that this is a tad off topic for this list, so I apologize in 
advance.  I'm trying to get glib2 and gtk2 installed in Linux, so that I 
can give xfce4 a whirl.  Unfortunately, its not going too well.

I successfully rebuilt & installed an SRPM of glib2:
glib2-2.0.6.0.200207270434-0.snap.ximian.1

However, when I attempt to build atk or pango (on the road to gtk2), 
both bomb out like this:
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly
installed.
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

 From what i can gather, pkg-config is checking the version of glib, and 
seein only the 1.2.10 version, since the glib2 version is registered as 
'glib2-2.0.6' rather than glib-2.0.6'.  However i just don't know how to 
force it to seeing the correct version.

I should note that i've still got glib-1.2.10 and gtk-1.2.10 installed, 
and have no desire to remove either until they become obsolete.  I've 
also got xfce-3.8.16 installed, and running quite well.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
