I know these compiling wrestling matches can go on for days....and I don't want to use the list or impose upon people that much. So, if we can move beyond the next step, then I'm eager. If there's something seriously messed up, well, I'll live without.
I installed the pango-dev versions available via yum. But (though the installed GIMP 2.2 works just fine) I had no current gtk. And of course that wants glib and pango greater than 1.14.
I successfully compiled glib-2.18.3, (or at least make completed without error) and thought I was making progress. Next step was pango and I got this:
*** Glib 2.14.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.
But I installed 2.18.3? OK, let's try that devel package. Running yum install glib-devel installed
glib-devel i386 1:1.2.10-23.oc2 OC-200-rhel-rel 39 k
which didn't help. Same glib problem.
I am so grateful for the help received so far, and if this is solvable (by someone with limited Linux knowledge...) I'm eager to do so.

That's correct ... but what configure is looking for, are the header
files for pango. You need to install the equivalent package, probably
called "pango-dev" or pango-devel" or some such derivative name. This
is true for every dependency that configure checks.
