In installed them in the default auto-configured spot. i.e. I ran 

./configure
make
sudo make install

In my case it turns out to be /usr/local/lib/

I checked pkg-config --libs glib-2.0 and the output was
-L/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0 so I don't think I should have to export those
variables. I just reinstalled the system after screwing something up so
I will try that next though. Thanks for the suggestion.
