What do you get when you type "which glib-config".  The response should be
like this:
  $ which glib-config
  /opt/gnome/bin/glib-config

If it tells you something different, you might have two glib-configs on
your system.  If it tells you nothing, than glib-config isn't in your
path.  Make sure your path has "/opt/gnome/bin", and that glib-config is
actually in that directory.

You can explicitly tell configure how to find it with the configure option
"--with-glib-exec-prefix=/opt/gnome".  However, I use --prefix=/opt/gnome,
and I haven't had to use the --with-glib options at all.

Also make sure that you have /opt/gnome/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf file.
