Well, GTK+ depends on it.  So if you use GTK+ then you must link to
glib.

If you tell me whats wrong then I could probably help.
There are many useful libraries for text matching, eg. :-

Regex in glibc
Henry Spencers regex http://arglist.com/regex/
PCRE regex http://www.pcre.org/

There is also flex.
