Looks like you'll either have to reinstall the old gtk and pango
packages, or recompile all the gnome apps that depended on the older
version.  I find the error odd, though, since GTK 2.4.x (and it's
dependencies like pango) are binary api compatible with gtk 2.0.

Welcome to dependency hell.

Looks like you'll have to put back the older versions of the library and
then install the new libraries in /usr/local.  Use the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable to point to the new libraries after building glib and before
building any program that you want to use the newer libraries.
