just did on CVS, so it should be fixed in tonight's snapshot
(ftp://ftp.gnome-db.org/pub/gnome-db/snapshots). But with the change you
did should be ok. Just in case, here's how this file looks on CVS right
now, so that you don't have to wait for the snapshot:

prefix= prefix@
exec_prefix= exec_prefix@
libdir= libdir@
includedir= includedir@

Name: libgda
Description: GDA (GNOME Data Access) library
Requires: glib-2.0 libxml-2.0 libxslt
Version: @VERSION@
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgda-2
Cflags: -I${includedir}

it will give problems mixing the 2 libraries, since there are a lot of
symbols defined in both. You can try (I don't know if it will work) to
create a tiny lib which wraps the calls to libgda-0.8.x and links
statically with glib-2.0, and then have the rest of your app use
glib-1.2 and this tiny library.

But if you're using only glib (that is, no GTK), please switch all your
app to glib-2.0. All the code will still work, since there are no
incompatible changes.
