Having problems installing glib-2.4.0

["Hudson T. Clark" <hudson clark verizon net>]

Ok I'm trying to setup this dvd deal xine and one of the frontends. The 
xine lib installs fine (to my knowledge the make process goes o.k.), I'm 
trying to install gtk+ (newer versions) so that I may make the frontend. 
 I'm trying to get pango and the other dependencies to make but I'm 
having problems. I thought I just needed to ./configure, make, make 
install in the glib-2.4.0 directory that I unpacked? I'm guessing there 
is a bit more to it? The make process and everything goes fine. But 
there is no "glib 2.4" directory in /usr/lib. Isn't that where it is 
suppose to install it? Pango says it can't find its dependencies 
either... I'm guessing glib is one of them... Anyway guidance would be 
much appreciated.
