Thanks Alexander.  I actually talked with Dan Winship off-list and we
determined the same thing.  The problem is NOT libgio, but the
autoconf/configure steps later on for all these other libraries which
find libglib in /usr/lib first.  I eventually end up with commands
that look like this:

  gcc -g -O2  ... -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so ...
/opt/gnome2/lib64/libglib-2.0.so ...

The thing is, I *really* don't understand the autotools well enough to
figure out how to fix this. Maybe I'll have to learn that first, I'm
just not relishing that opportunity. =)

Thanks though!
