Some problems in compiling atk

[Kendl Tibor <kendl flexys hu>]

Dear list members, GTK team!

I've found some problems in compiling atk-1.5.3. ./configure script 
exits with an error that it cannot find the glib. Ok. I've compiled and 
installed ( and run ldconfig of course) glib-2.3.2. I've returned to 
configure atk and it still exits with an error that glib cannot be 
found. After hours of tinkering with it, i had no other idea and tried 
to compile and install glib with '--prefix=/usr', and to my surprise atk 
configure script ran completely. My question is what's wrong with 
installing glib to /usr/local and why atk configure script does not find 
it here?

Yours
