You may have installed GTK and GLib 2.8 but the compiler finds an older 
version. You can try:

- setting up a jhbuild or Garnome environment
(http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/jhbuild/ or 
http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/) to compile Epiphany within a 
"protected" environment where no system libraries are used but every 
dependency is compiled separately

- upgrading the glib/gtk library that came with your distro using the 
tools provided with your distro

- setting the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the 
directory on your system where glib-2.0.pc resides. This file should 
contain a line like 'Version: 2.8.1'. This is the suggestion given in 
the output you pasted in your message.

Last but not least, please reply to the epiphany-list gnome org instead 
of e-mailing me personally. Thank you for using Epiphany!
