Apparently you have an old copy of libglib that is being used instead
of the correct one. Look for /usr/lib/libglib.so.* (and check for
libgdk.so.* at the same time just to make sure)

Ask the karpski maintainers why they aren't using gtk-config.
(docs/gtk-config.txt).

(Or to avoid the issue, run configure as:

 CPPFLAGS=`gtk-config --cflags` ./configure)
