    If the steps does not wrote any error on the output, then

    These errors are normal ! the latest just test wether 
    BYTE_ORDER is BIG_ENDIAN or not ! If it is not, the 
    compiler stops on the 'not', as it should,
    so that the configure script gets the compiler error and is able to
    say that BYTE_ORDER is not equal to BIG_ENDIAN.

    If ./configure ends up with creating Makefiles and config.h, then
    it probably succeeds.

    [I assume here that you have put glib in /usr/local/lib,
    since you ./configured with defaults]

    You should 
        * add /usr/local/lib to the /etc/ld.so.conf file,
        * add /usr/local/bin to your PATH envvar,
        * rerun ldconfig
        * delete the config.cache file in gtk+ base dir
        * re-run ./configure in the gtk+ dir.
