I installed glib-2.4 to /usr, put /usr/lib above /usr/local/lib in 
/etc/ld.so.conf, ran ldconfig, then tried to install pango-1.4.0.  But it 
dies during configure with this:


checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** Glib 2.4.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.


Any ideas how to fix that?
