I think you're still missing something.  Is glib2-devel install?  (rpm
-qi glib2-devel)

I would go to apt.freshrpms.net, download and install apt, and then do:
apt-get update
apt-get install gtk2-devel glib2-devel

Failing that, I would get the src.rpm file for the gtk2, atk, pango, and
glib2 packages from the fedora core sources and then rebuild them for
rh9 (rpmbuild --rebuild glib2-xxx.src.rpm) and then install those.  This
way you'll have the latest gtk2/glib2, but you won't have to deal with
the mess of conflicts between installed packages and installed libraries
you build from scratch from tarballs.  

If you do build all from source, it would probably be best (in this
specific case) to configure each package to install to /usr (./configure
--prefix=/usr).  Otherwise you will have problems building gtk apps
(conflicts with already installed libs).
