It found it but it was the old one, based on the error message:

checking for glib-config... /usr/local/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.4... no

possible. I kept thinking he was using Linux. I've never used Solaris so 
i guess it doesn't have ldconfig

On Suse6.3 which is on my laptop and desktop the advice i gave worked 
for me, else I woudln't have been able to give that advice in the first 
place.  The glib/gtk-config files weren't placed in /usr/local/bin 
during my 'make install' process so I had to put them there myself and 
run ldconfig in order for my ./configure steps to proceed without error. 
I'm just goingon personal experience. It worked for me so I can't help 
that u don't agree with it.
