Thanks Sven, that fixed it. I've installed hundreds of packages in the 
last couple of years; most of them don't choke on /usr/local/lib and 
/usr/local/include as long as ldconfig  and the environment knows about 
them. So I've been lulled into regarding /usr/local as a 'standard' 
location. But the reason I ended up upgrading glib was because, during the 
gtkmm-2.2.7 .configure process, pkg-config couldn't find glib-2.0.pc, no 
matter what I did to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and no matter where I put 
glib-2.0.pc. Upgrading to glib-2.2.3 and re-running .config solved that 
problem.
