First suggestion, as always, is to get a nice binary package in RPM or
deb format rather than compile it yourself. But, failing that:

The file config.log will contain the exact reason the check for glib
failed. Possibly you added the wrong thing to ld.so.conf - it should
be /usr/local/lib, not /usr/local/bin/glib-config.
