1. If you just run configure without '--prefix', it should then
   installed in /usr/local/lib (libglib* and others), /usr/local/bin
   (glib-config), and /usr/local/include (header files), check
   against this.
2. add your path with /usr/local/bin, so Gtk configure able to run
   glib-config
3. make sure that ld.so.conf in /etc contains /usr/local/lib
4. run (as root) ldconfig -v, and verify whether the output really
   contain /usr/local/lib and glib libraries in it.
More or less same rule applies on Gtk. Good luck and have fun!
