Good advice.  I downloaded pango-1.2.1.  When I try to configure it I get this:

/src/pango-1.2.1# ./configure
<snip>
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.3...

configure: error:

I've been looking in the configure script trying to understand where the configuration test is looking for the major/minor/micro version strings.  I have glib.h for glib 1.2 and 2.0 on my system as shown:
~# locate glib.h
<snip>
/usr/include/glib-1.2/glib.h
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h

Where is the configuration test getting the 2.0.4 version info from?

Thanks for helping,
