What does the following command return:

pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0 

Please note that PKG_CONFIG_PATH should be set to the directory
containing the .pc files, not the pkg-config executable. I would think
would be /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig in your case or something similar.


If you compile the following program:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <glib.h>

int main(void) {

  printf("Glib version is %d.%d.%d\n",
	 GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION,
	 GLIB_MINOR_VERSION,
	 GLIB_MICRO_VERSION);

}

Using the following command:

gcc -o version `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` version.c

Does that work ?

What happens when you execute the resulting version program ?
(./version)

What does the command:

ldd ./version report ?

Sounds to me like you haven't setup your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable correctly.

Umm, reinstalling the complete OS for these types of issue seems like
the definition of overkill. Are you completely wiping out the whole
drive ?
