I have suspected something like this.  Even though ./configure finds 
glib2.4  I think that either a link or something that Debian does 
differently is the cause.  I have checked /etc/ld.so.conf and run 
ldconfig.  Is there something in the way that Debian records what is on 
the system that could be causing the problem.
