How many copies of the GTK stack (gtk+/glib/pango/cairo) do you have
installed on your machine?  I would say your perl script is finding
the wrong glib library.  Note that apps like Pidgin and Gimp for
Windows are sometimes bundled with their own GTK stack as well.

Can you run the pkgconfig command in the same shell that you set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH in and have it return the version for gobject?

XP-GTK-BUILDER# pkg-config --modversion gobject-2.0
2.20.0

If you can't run the above command, then your PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not
set or is set incorrectly.

Thanks,
