Remove (with "rpm -e <package-name>") all instances of glib 1.2.1 and gtk+
1.2.1 from your disk. Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run
ldconfig. Now try to recompile GTK+. (read on for the easy version)

There are RPMs for RedHat:

  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/redhat/i386/glib/glib-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/redhat/i386/glib/glib-devel-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/redhat/i386/gtk+/gtk+-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/redhat/i386/gtk+/gtk+-devel-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm

Download the RPMs, install them using "rpm -i <package-file>".

I can't help you with rpm, because I'm a Debian user. "man rpm" will help
you.
