I've checked and rechecked the install numerous times.  I've done this 
many times before, so I know how to install from source.

BTW, I compiled and installed libXft-2.1.7 and the pango compile 
"INCLUDE" error went away, so I now have X and Xft for backends along 
with FreeType.  Even that doesn't fix the problem.

I'm beating my head against the wall here.  I've checked with 'locate' 
and there are no more glib installs anywhere.

Helllllp,
