When you installed glib-2.0.6 in /opt/gnome, you installed the
glib-2.0.6 .pc files that pkg-config needs into
/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig/.

pkg-config doesn't look there for .pc files, so it can't find GLib,
which is the cause of all your problems.

You can set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to
/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig or copy the files in /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig
into the standard pkgconfig directory or modify the glib-2.0.6
Makefile to install the .pc files in the standard pkgconfig directory.

You will have the same choices when it's time to install pango-1.0.4.

You can also set PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW to get debugging messages.  See
the pkg-config man page for details.
