Like it says: if you in fact have glib 2 installed, with its gthread
stuff, then add the directory containing gthread-2.0.pc to your
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  If not, then install it.

Here:

myrtle:~$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:\
/opt/gtk2/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:\
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig

myrtle:~$ locate gthread-2.0.pc
/opt/gtk2/lib/pkgconfig/gthread-2.0.pc

myrtle:~$ pkg-config gthread-2.0 --libs
-pthread -L/opt/gtk2/lib -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0
