trying to install glib please help !!!



I have downloaded version 1.1.16 of glib
I have tried to do a ./configure make & make install
but when i try and install gtk i get the following message after a 
./configure
could not run Glib test program, checking why...
The test program failed to to compile or link.  see config.log for the 
exact error that occured. This usually means glibwas incorrectly 
installed or that is has been moved since it was intstall. In the latter 
case, you may want to edit the glib-config script /usr/bin/glib-config
configure error.

I know that glib has not been installed as the directory is version 8 
under /usr
here is change.log that the error message is pointing me too.....
