ATK installation problems

[Brahma <vishwajaal yahoo com>]

Im trying to install GTK and getting stuck at the
./configure of atk. Here's what Im getting as error:

==================================================
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.5.7...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.8.1,
but GLIB (2.0.6)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is
best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be
able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment
variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig
if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment
variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files
no

==================================================

I searched the web and I find that tens and hundereds
(maybe even millions) of people are getting the same
goddammed errors and there's no advise out there as to
whats to be/can be done!?! No one seems to know
anything more than what's suggested by the 'configure'
script !!

I just we thru the entire drill of installing all the
dependency packages viz., pkgconfig, glib, fonttype,
fontconfig, pango, and I try 'atk' and the damn thing
does not recognise that Ive upgraded my glib just
minutes earlier. Ive tried (like the hundreds and
thousands of others) all the usual set of tricks but
in vain! Im writing to wake-up the so-called 'GLIB,
GTK' developers to take note that their shabby work is
making millions of people waste their valuable time!?!
I dont want to give any credit to this doggone shit
that Im getting this stuff for FREE, my foot!?! I know
that they are not going to respond anyways since many
hundreds have called out to them in vain before me!
JUST DONT THROW SHIT AT PEOPLE! #$^
