the glib-config script is used in the 1.2.x version of glib/gtk.  Your 
application needs
to be compiled against gtk 1.2, NOT gtk 2.0.x.

You need to install the development packages for gtk 1.2 (either from 
sources or a package)
You can install both versions (1.2 and 2.x) with no problem as 2.0 uses 
the script pkg-config.
