Looks like the glib-config for the version of glib that comes with RH
5.2 (1.0.6 I think) is first in your path.  If you installed the new
glib-config in /usr/local (the default for the configure script, you
need to put /usr/local/bin first in your path variable.

The following works with csh/tcsh, but I don't know about bash.

set path = (/usr/local/bin $path)

then execute the configure script and compile gtk.
