 Big mistake -- if you are using gnmoe, it is almost the same thing as removing
glibc :P)

  pkgconfig 1.5 is already available. (Just so that you know.)

  Once you install glib, you need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the installation
dir.
  as in:
   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/glib-2.4.2/lib/pkgconfig

> i renamed glib-2.4.2 to old.glib-2.4.2 and tried to run the atk
  Renmaing is not a good thing to do beucase the .pc files still points the the
original install directory.


   You will have to do the follwoing: (Once you install glib)

export  CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/glib-2.4.2/include"
export  LDFLAGS="-L/opt/glib-2.4.2/lib"
export  PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/glib-2.4.2/lib/pkgconfig"
export  LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/gtk/lib"
export  PATH="/opt/gtk/bin:$PATH"

(BTW, this is detailed on the Installation instructions)
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.4/gtk/gtk-building.html

Once you do this, it should work.

Hope this helps.
