I've seen this happen where an RPM of glib was previously installed, but
not glib-devel. When a later glib is compiled and installed, remnants of
the old RPM installation along side a shiny new glib-2.0 pkgconfig file
seem to confuse things.

I'd suggest removing the RPM of glib and reinstalling the source of
2.4.2.
