Are you sure that the glib headers you're picking up match the glib  
libraries you're getting?

The gtk2-perl policy on version compatibility is to build in support  
for whatever is available at compile time, which means whatever  
headers we pick up.  That is guaranteed to work with a library object  
of that version or newer (thanks to gnome's ABI stability policy).

It sounds like you're picking up a newer version via your pkg-config  
path than you're linking with.

Hints:

- The header include paths come from "pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0"
- The link paths come from "pkg-config --libs gobject-2.0"
- When you attempt to *run*, you get what is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  If  
the directory listed in the output of pkg-config --libs is not in  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or /etc/ld.so.conf), then you will have to  
manipulate your environment by hand.
- If you're not doing anything special or abnormal, then your system  
is misconfigured.
