In an earlier message, you said you had Linux 5.2 (I'm guessing you
mean RedHat 5.2).  The default for the configure script installs the
files in /usr/local.  RH 5.2 includes gtk+-1.0.6 (I think) in /usr so
it's finding the glib-config script in /usr/bin instead of the new
glib-config script.  Put /usr/local/bin in your path before /usr/bin
and add /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Also you might want
to get a newer version of glib/gtk (1.2.3 or 1.2.4).
