Looks like you already have glib shared libraries installed. So you
actually compile against 2.14, but (dynamically) link against 2.12. You
should probably remove the installed version.

A better way, however, is to use packages provided by your distribution.
If they don't provide packages for glade-3.4, perhaps you can get
(development versions) of its dependencies, though.
