Hi Bill, please answer on the list :)

so I presume you did install it in /usr/local/

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib (or equivalent)
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (or equivalent)

should be enough to tell to the configure script where the newest glib is.

probably not the best way to go but... I understood from your email
that you need a quick and dirty way....

cheers
